any help with this is most gratefully received.
our baxi bermuda 551 has been fine until recently when the hot water temperature dropped to just about luke warm. (gravity fed system) i figured that this would be a thermostat issue and ordered and fitted a replacement. this however, made no difference.
so i followed the servicing instructions here: baxi bermuda 551 very carefully and put it all back together but to no avail - although the pilot light is stronger now and a nice shade of blue the boiler, when asked by the (switchmaster 400) timer fires up straight away but then immediately shuts down again.
any ideas as to what might be the problem please? it seems like a very simple device, the only other component to change appears to be the gas valve, but seeing as we are a low income family (but proudly not taking from the state) this would be a significant outlay.
so also would be calling out a gas man - an expense which we really cannot afford. if i can fix this myself it would be a real bonus.
