if you have no heating and no dhw this would indicate that the problem
is not the plate heat exchanger
when you turn the hot tap on does the fan run
can you see a spark

like i said flow switch

Bahama is a very easy boiler to fix you just hit it with a 14 pound sledge hammer right off the wall and replace with a half decent boiler. Between that and the genisis got to be worst boilers baxi ever put there name to.

i totally agree might be why bahama was only made for 3 years and genesis isnt really Baxi its a Chafeteaux in disguise

also did you know the people who made the flow switches for the bahama designed them for air not water use so know wonder they always fail

You must agee fellas that the Baxi/ Potterton range of boilers are very popular on this forum.

Sorry Gaz

If you take the heat exchanger out you can try to clean it using HCl. Not a job you'd want to do unless you know how to handle strong acids.
