Baxi Barcelona - ignition lock out

[arfurrrr]

Have set electrode gap (& cleaned) whenever I stand in front of it .. it fires up on first spark ... I know it can have multiple attempts.

I'll disconnect the water trap connection for a while and see if that makes a difference.

I noticed that it is about 3/4 full. ... both sides
Since I removed and cleaned it fully ... left hand side wasd empty and right hand side 3/4 full.

I assume that is what it should look like in service?

My mate has the exact same problem , if it anit the above what else could it be ?

Check Ignition PCB for signs of scorching, replace if necessary.

This seems to have been ignored.

failing that i just change the pump and see what happens, if it doesnt work i put the old one back on.

but surlely thats too easy to do .



so has anyone checked the operation of the flowswitch on this boiler.... its been the solution to this very fault before. of course being a 'parts changer' what would i know.

You won't get a maintenance contract on a Barcelona.

Anyone who's been in this business a few years knows what a heap they are. Any repairs will be shortlived.

BG will take it on.

actually most issues are down to poor servicing and a lack of logical faultfinding.

How can a flow switch cause an ignition lockout?

 

[gavinda]

i dont believe this is neccesarily ign lockout. i had a similar issue with inoperation last year. after various people had replaced all stats seals sensors electrodes condense tarps pcbs et al i was able to observe the flowswitch going open circuit during the operation of thr boiler and giving the flashing lockout light. 1 replaced flowswitch later (surprisingly easy for once ) and problem solved.

 

[baxpoti]

giving the flashing lockout light.

Ignition lockout is constant red.
