pink you mean red.
you need to check for power to the FSU.

 

[janine2]

haha it was the hubby that said pink...we have this argument that hes colour blind so this just proves it...so how do i check the fsu please

 

[seco services]

multi meter.

you haven't got a garage consumer box have you ?

 

[janine2]

Im greatfull for your help but just to clarify... i need to check the fsu with a multi meter... what is the fsu and do these meters cost alot sorry...i am naturally blonde !!

 

[janine2]

just mentione the garage consumer box to the hubby and even he said ''whats that'' !

 

[andrew1210]

the fsu is the switch in the picture seco posted, for a lower end multimeter, prob about £8 out of B&Q

Garage CU is a smaller 'fuse box' in the garage, similar to the main one you've already checked, but smaller

Edit: didn't make sense

FSU fused spur unit. what you checked the fuse in.
can get a basic one under a tenner.

you say boilers in garage do you have any other wall sockets in the garage ? and do they all work ?

garage consumer.

 

[janine2]

ok i will look into that tommoro then...so you would say its something to do with the power supply rather than a fault with the boiler

The boiler has a 2nd yr gaurantee still left on it but it takes ages to book someone to vist, and then if its not a fault with the boiler they can charge me for the call

 

[andrew1210]

Well the power supply is probably the best place to check first, so that we can eliminate it if its ok, could still be a fault with the boiler though, maybe an internal fuse etc.........

 

[seco services]

poss not power to FSU.
but if it's the fuse thats blown i would then say a boiler fault has caused it
to blow.

 

[janine2]

no we dont have the garage consumer... theres just one box which holds the switchs for the whole house...all the other sockets in the garage are working fine

 

[janine2]

ahh well that was one thing i did guess ! ... the element on the oven recently went and i learnt from that, that if the fuse blew it was a fault with the oven...not had much luck recently and the bloomin house is only 4yrs old argghhhh

 

[janine2]

whenever its gone off in the past its just been a case of re igniting the flame but this has no lights on the controle panel at all...well seems i might just have to call the heatline engineers out and freeze for a couple of days whilst waiting...thanks for all the help though guys
