Common fault on these is the flame sensing electrode. Will often go out of place above the burner, but as has been said, an RGIs job.

yes

thats why several people have died due to poor maintenace/diy on this appliance over the years :shock:

Give it time :wink:

Normally when the pilot solenoid goes on this appliance the pilot LED will light on the display but the boiler will do nothing. But change it anyway, common fault.

Normally if you replace all the lead in your house (and underground) the water supply company will replace all lead their side. So you'll connect to plastic. I take it your doing to water regulations. If so, they should connect free. If not they'll probably be a little length of lead left under...

Yep very common electrode fault. Baxi are still modifying it (3rd time I think) and still getting the same fault. Also the combustion door seals have a tendency to fall apart leading the overheat stat by the fan to operate.

Bounce??

PCB required. The display unit plugs into the pcb, if you've changed the display unit then it can only be the pcb.

Does the hot water light come on at the front panel? If not its probably the diaphragm needs replacing.

Wheres the boiler positioned. Garage/loft etc. could be frost protection.

Could be a lot of things. Why do people expect an appliance to last forever??? 1986??

Could also be a failing solenoid on the gas valve.

Did your last boiler have a permanent live supply (for pump overrun)? Your new one dosen't need one so may have been wired incorrectly.

The non return valves by the pumps are letting by so when the pump overrun kicks in (after hw has heated) the rads are getting hot (emptying the heatbank). Get yourself plenty of o rings for this boiler as there a pain in arse once you start to move bits around :shock:

I expect the boiler stat is not turned up high enough. Should be on max.

If a remember rightly there are 2 overheat buttons. Remove the front cover and underneath the main control box casing (not inside the casing) the buttons are left and right. They're dark red in colour and will only move about 2mm when you push them.

Not even if your a landlord. A Gas safety check is all thats required. Servicing is not included in this. It all depends what you call servicing? Many defects would be picked up by the landlords check (flue/vent etc) but other checks wouldn't be done on any gas appliances.

Did I say they shouldn't be serviced annually? No I didn't. What I was pointing out that the REGULATIONS (i.e. the law) don't specify if and when you do.

At least I have one :wink:
