    Main Combi 24 HE no DHW, Boiler fires up then turns off

    this is basically a baxi 105. two possibilities of hot water issue no 1 plate to plate blocked and overheating or dhw thermistor faulty. if it is the thermistor the central heating senor is the same as the dhw one. you can move wires from dhw one onto heating and vice versa if the boiler then...

    Can somebody explain this to me - not seen it before...

    twin entry valve. verycommon. if you pull valve away from rad you will see there is a piece of copper 8/10mm that goes from the valve into the rad by 12 to 18inches. these systems have some draw backs they can be difficult to balance and you cant powerflush them.

    Keston C25 - nobody knows what's wrong with it!

    I think there are a couple of things i would want to check before throwing parts at it. the diagnostics indicate there may be a low gas pressure, problem with spark gap, faulty igniter or a faulty ignition board. I personally would check that condense trap and pipe, check gas pressure and spark...

    Megaflo and Pressure Guage

    hahaha. no the red needle does nothing. it just indicates what the system pressure should be set to when system is cool. yes its perfectly normal for the black needle to go up when heat is on and then drop back down when it goes off. what happens is as the system heats up the water expands and...

    Cost of descaling a Powermax 155 boiler

    dont think that is possible in fact i think you can get a kit to do an external heat exchanger for it. Word to the wise rip it out and fit a good combi.

    o.k do the following. 1. check your heating tank is full make sure system hasn't run dry. 2. take screw out of pump if it is that type. push a screw driver into the propeller. is it easy to stop the prop. if yes or if it isnt running pump in knackered. if this is ok and motorised valve is...

    Potterton Netaheat Electronic

    right. so pilot is lit the fan runs? when fan runs it switches air pressure swithch the gas valve should then get 240volts and open up main gas. Did you have to re light the pilot today?

    Keston C25 - nobody knows what's wrong with it!

    right this could be a number of things. first of all where does the condense pipe terminate? outside to a drain or inside to waste? is this blocked/ frozen up? also what happens when you reset boiler?

    how to test continuity

    multimeter. put it on ohms resistance. put one probe one end and the other at the other end. you should get same reading as what you get when you put two probes together. if you get no reading or OL there is a breakage in the wire.

    ideal classic ff350,stalling after 20mins

    I know its not a combi! i meant is it s or y plan. when it cuts off feel the pipes above boiler if they are red hot then i think its overheating and you have a circulation problem. if the heat isnt getting away from the boiler quick enough it will keep cycling on off on off and it will be noisy...

    Boiler keeps clicking on and off all the time

    probably frost protection. they will come on when it gets below a certain temp (think its 10 degrees or somthing, higher than you would think) and circulates some heat to stop itself getting too cold.
