I think id take a second opinion from an engineer. Even ask Ariston for a service call themselves, its not over priced and you'll get someone with the right kind of knowledge as im reluctant to beleive the flow switch needed replaced in the first place. If its existed from the day it was...

Yeah im with the last poster, feel the pipe up to the rad on either side. if one sides hot then its probably the TRV could possibly be sludged but more than likely the trv's sticking or broken could you unscrew the head on the thermostat to see if it helps? should only be hand tight Ray

Well done Jim, what was the matter with it if you dont mind me asking? Ray

id like to hear someone else's opinion but id imagine so long as the gas inlet pressure from the meter into the boiler is ok then the rectification problems due to the detection electrode/lead or more than likely the main pcb,quite common to fail on them but id wait to hear from someone else Ray

well if it proves to be the fan its a crate of tennants for your uncle :lol: Cheers

yeah i agree, theres an HRPC (http://www.partscenter.co.uk/parts/index.html) in east kilbride near the old motorola factory and also 1 in hyde park street next to the SECC. cheaper place is heat spares on helen st, govan. Fan will probably come in about 100-120quid or 20quid for that low...

i had a look at the book for one there i cant see anything about the 20min cycling time, although ive never fitted one ive worked on plenty/changed pcbs so im not sure if that will be the correct area to look at but like Andy says you have paid a lot of money for what should be a good system...

after looking at some posters im reluctant to say due to people saying u need a gas safe engineer etc etc :roll: but its inside the combustion chamber which is protected by the silver casing above the components you see by 8 screws, just bare in mind by removing the screws your breaking a...

Johnny thats the low pressure switch. Seems really unlikely to be the cause of the blowing fuses as it is just a simple switch, if the water pressures not high enough if wont make, once high enough it makes which puts the boiler into its next sequence of operation to fire. Once thats proved the...

Hi Jim, When you say you turned it off was it just the cold water inlet into the boiler/mains stop cock? i.e uve not interfered with the yellow gas cock below the boiler? if youve just turned off the stopcock the heating at least definitly shouldnt be affected. Is the lockout fault the same...

if your in a house its fine to buy a hob without FSD protection. The reg came in a couple of years ago and only applies in flats. If you buy a hob without FSD now it cant be fitted in a flat. If you already own one,move into a flat with one or take your old 1 from your last property to a...

Louise sounds like the boilers just in a standby mode and not calling for heat. Its been a few weeks since i saw one but if i remember the middle knob is for the heating temperature and should be turned clockwise to call for heat. then if the boilers got a built in timer like the last poster...

Steve should be an easy fix if your on homecare and have your 2/3 yr g'tee just phone up for an engineer tomorrow. If he cant answer your question ask for his service managers number. Explain the problem and you might find them to be quite helpful. The boiler i expect is fine. If your house...

i understand having to top up 5 litres everyday would make you think it should be an easy enough leak to find and you'd expect there to be signs i agree but if you go back to the basics my thinking is: -if its lasting longer by keeping the heating on and drops quicker when off the heat is...

I think BG might just endup upsetting you. If its due to sludge/circulation you might find they wont cover the repair unless you have the system flushed by themselves or a third party flush then re-inspected. The pressure problem could be due to the circulation problem...heat not...

should be the same on that model. later aristons have a slightly diffrent impellar but heads look identical Ray

i think firstly id go down the line of spm8. Your installer should be able to help with this best as he should be able to rule out the expansion vessel and help look down a process of elimination with other areas of the system. Though its unusual it may be that the expansion vessel is...
