Hi,
First post. Thanks to all the regular contributors who have provided answers via a quick search or two in the past....
Had problems getting main burner to light on our alpha 240p combi this weekend. A simple clean up of the insides as directed by the service manual and its going again now...BUT... previous work on the boiler has damaged the fittings of the casing a bit, and I have not been able to tightly re-fasten on the "room sealed chamber" panel. It was loose as I found it and tbh the design of the panel fixings is pretty flawed with corrosion clearly knackering the clip and screw fittings. Am going to get someone who knows the model to give it a full service, but in the short term would be really grateful for a view on how important a tight seal on this panel is for safe operation over the next day or two.
Thanks,
R
