We were walking around the house with our noses in the air last night trying to track down the smell of a blown-out match. We found it was coming from the boiler.
We have a Worcester 240 RSF Combi with the following dials/switches available:
- temperature dial = minimum->max
- central heating timer = off/auto/constant
- hot water = off/on
With the hot water set to 'on' the boiler is constantly lit and it's during this time that the smell starts to build up. For this reason we only ever turn it on if we need hot water - very inconvenient. It's only started doing this in the last few days though.
We've also just recently been having problems with overheating (see post here: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4916), and although that problem did stop for a while it has returned.
We'd be really grateful for some pointer on this as it's driving us up the wall with worry.
