    Vokera Minute Boiler Problem

    Thanks for your reply. Its not a condensing version. I just hope that I can rule out some simple or obvious things before I call out an engineer who will recommend that I replace an expensive PCB!

    Vokera Minute Boiler Problem

    I have moved into a house with a Vokera Mynute EHE boiler. As far as I know the boiler is 3 to 4 years old. There are three separate circuits, hot water, upstairs radiators and downstairs underfloor heating. It works fine most of the time, but sometimes it will not fire when required...

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    Hi, Just to wanted to let everybody know that the problem has been solved. Plumber called on Wednesday and identified what was wrong. Main injector (not the pilot injector) was blocked with a build up of graphite. He showed me the small pieces of carbon that came out of it. Radiators...

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    Thanks for your kind encouragement, Tony, its my first venture onto a forum like this and I'm very impressed. We have our own Gas Board (Bord Gáis) who run things here - I had never heard of CORGI before. The plumber who did the job for me was a friend who was trying to do me a favour. He...

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    Meter reads in cubic meters. In 1 minute the reading went from 340,723 to 340,731. I assume this means that 0.008 cubic meters were used in 1 minute. This equates to 0.48 cubic meters in 1 hr. My gas bill tells me the conversion factor for kWh is 11.3911. Therefore the boiler appears to be...

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    Sorry, I didn't see the third reply before I responded. Boiler is staying alight for a long time and doesn't shut off on boiler stat. Pipes close to the boiler are not very hot and take a long time to get warm. Could the boiler stat be the problem or would this have the opposite effect...

    Thanks to both of you for your help. I'll check what I can myself or get the plumber to have another look.

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    The boiler is heating the water and its going to the radiators but something is limiting the amount of heat that it is outputting even when its set at the highest setting.

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    Yes, I think so. I thought it might be the pump so, on his advice, I turned off all of the upstairs radiators and the valve to the hot water tank. The downstairs radiators heated up (but still not very hot) which, I think, proves the pump is working.

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    I have to assume he did. I wasn't there the day he did it but the day he identified the problem he demonstrated to me that very little gas was passing through the valve. I presume he checked that the opposite was the case the day he replaced the valve.

    Baxi Solo Boiler Problem

    I have a problem with my Baxi Solo WM50/4 powered flue wall mounted boiler. The boiler was not firing properly but it has recently been serviced and cleaned and the gas valve has been replaced. The boiler now ignites properly and stays alight but it takes a long time (90 minutes!) to heat...
