Can anyone help me? I hope so.
My situation is this. I have a Worcester 24i Combi Boiler that has been playing up recently. The HW & CH is currently working intermittently. The boiler fires up when a hot tap is turned on or the CH is turned on, but around 3-4 minutes later the boiler turns itself off, It then sometimes “tries” to fire up, but can’t and after a predetermined time it does fire up again, but only for a short time. It sounds like something is overheating and needs to cool down before it can fire up again. Maybe??
To date I have taken the fan off and cleaned it and that spins perfectly. I have checked the Air Pressure Switch as per the manual using a meter and that is also fine. I have been reading a few posts that suggest maybe the Water temp sensor or the heat exchange could be scaled up. Also, it could be the pump needs bleeding and the rads need bleeding. These symptoms might not even apply to my boiler, but I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction and maybe even eliminate possible symptoms I have suggested. I hope to get to the bottom of this problem and thank you in advance for your time and help.
Regards,
Ade Hanks
