Baxi WM 512 RS Boiler

[abersurfer]

Hi all

Just moved house and had the boiler checked to find it condemned!

Two reasons:

~ Safety device broken ( Which is the thermostat snapped)
~ Seals worn ( something along the lines of asbestos)

Is it possible to fix these problems and get the boiler serviced or is it completely had it so to say!

It is also located in the kitchen cupboard, is this ok? it can breath as it isnt tightly sealed within the cupboard.

I have little money since buying the house so looking for cheap means (but safe)

thanks for any advice

would think you will be lucky to get spares

baxpoti will know

as for in a cupboard it will deffo need ventilation

depends which seals are worn. if its the front it might be repairable but i thought they were NLA. if its the seals around the pipes then i wouldnt waste my money on it.

iv been told its the seal around the unit..it looks as if you unscrew the front and the seal around that..which he pointed too

ok, baxpoti can maybe back me up here but if its the black rubber seal they are NLA.

IIRC some WM baxis had rope seals that you could change for any old rope seal the same size. depends which you have.

If its this one it's obsolete.
