Oh I see what you mean. You're absolutely right. I think my my desire for hot water is getting the better of me. At least it's not the middle of winter when the cold water would be freezing. I'll wait for the engineer to arrive.

Why am I crazy? I just want to get some hot water for tomorrow morning before I go to work.

I have an engineer booked for Tuesday, but I thought I'd keep exploring the possibilities. I turned off the gas supply valve immediately underneath the boiler (without turning off the electrics). Turned on a hot tap and the boiler has ignited. So far, the boiler has held up for an hour. I'm...

Will do. I'll let you know what happens

I forgot to mention that there is a ticking noise which appears to come from the pump. Because the boiler is in a separate room I hardly use, it may well be the pump has always made this noise.

I certainly will call in a registered engineer this week to have the machine fully serviced. Not before turning off the electric supply, I partially turned the large silver screw in the centre of the pump to bleed out some water. Now the boiler ignites. Can anyone explain why this has...

This morning I woke up to find the boiler refuses to ignite. The flame failure diplay is flashing red. Resetting doesn't work and I can't take the pressure any higher. I've noticed on the 15/90, there is switch for manual, auto and off. But on this model which is a 15/60, I can't see where...

When it doesn't ignite, the red display for 'flame failure' lights up.

My Baxi Main Combi 24HE is having problems igniting. I first noticed about 4 weeks ago when it took longer than usual to light up . Since then, the boiler has occasionally failed to fire up. Reseting sometimes works but not always. Also, increasing the pressure can do the trick but I can only...

I agree with you. I told Atmos on Christmas Eve that I was going to scrap the machine until they they said that BG would insure it (I had enquired in the past when BG definately did not cover Atmos). If the machine fails again whilst insured and if BG fail to fix it in reasonable time, then I...

to namsag: Just to make it absolutely clear that I have now restored the boiler to full working order although I went without hot water and heat for almost 10 days over xmas. You may think that I was 'messing' with the appliance but had I relied on the 'experts', I would have had to wait...

Thanks Tony. I really appreciate your feedback. I need insurance on the machine as I do not want to experience another breakdown certainly not during the holidays when no one is around. I will contact BG in the morning and challenge their decision. In fact, they will have no excuse not to...

I can't say why BG failed the machine. However I assume it's because the BG engineer hadn't a clue to start with. I felt it was clear from his body language that he was nervous of the machine and couldn't wait to leave my property (I don't think BG should be advertising support for Atmos when...

By the way, does anyone know the definition of the following on the Atmos diagnostic display: '2' followed by three stacked horizontal parallel lines flashing every 5 seconds (a bit like a capital E but without the main strut). This appears when I put the CH on. I know that '2' has two...

AVAILABILITY OF ENGINEERS The installer is retired. I contacted Atmos who are very friendly and very helpful. They gave me some numbers to ring including Dan's. I did speak to him but he said that I would have to wait to be seen. In the meantime, I tried other avenues like approaching BG and...

Hello Tony At face value, I can see why you came to your conclusion which is wrong. I have given quite a lot of information regarding the problem. If I had the time to give the full story, I could probably write a book. I have called around many engineers who have all said that they have...

BREAK DOWN OF ATMOS 24/80 MULTI PLUS MARK 1 I'm not a plumber or engineer but have have been forced to work on my boiler as no one has been able to come out during the holidays. In fact, it is just difficult to get any qualified engeer to service an Atmos at any time of the year as most...
