Baxi back boiler - flicking off and on

[TheSte]

Hello,

I really hoped if day wasn't going to happen now, but my back boiler is having problems. It already had a problem with the timer and motorized values, but wasn't a real problem and could just turn on manually (Yes, having the hot water and heating on at the same time, but it worked.). We will be getting a new system at some point very soon, but just need it to last a little bit longer.

The problem at the moment is that is getting up to "temperature", and then it keeps cutting out and then back on about 2 or 3 times a minute. There is some random clicking in the background (No, the clicking is not from it turn off and on). The radiators are getting hot and so is the water. Any ideas on what this could be and any recommendation.

And then you will regret it, possibly the best boiler ever made, yes not as efficient as the latest crap, when was it last serviced properly, this boiler needs a proper service every year, not a look at , fire needs removed, boiler heat exchanger needs properly cleaned , air intake filter MUST be cleaned , if this hasnt been done get it done

Thank you, and you are properly right on that. I will get someone round to sort it out.

make sure they do it right, takes a bit of servicing properly but will last forever
