We have, much to our regret, an Isar m30100. It has gone through the usual problems of sticking diverter valve and condensate trap bunging up but it hasn't been too expensive.
Until this afternoon.
It made a chugging noise, then a hammering noise. Then a slight spraying noise.
This was followed by a loud flash and bang as presumably the electronics got wet.
I'm assuming that it'll be a write off and wit a combination of warm-front, raiding the piggy bank and making an insurance claim we'll be looking at a new boiler in the next couple of days.
I've had to isolate the water supply to the thing since whatever knocked the pressure up in there blew loads of seals and it is dripping; along with making sure there's no power going anywhere near it.
I can see a completely blown electrical filter in there at a minimum, the PCB casing is dripping etc...
Now the replacement will ideally not be an Ideal but something that has hugely better reputation.
Any suggestions?
To make it even easier to get the new one in place it would be nice if the various service pipes were in a similar order.
Left to right as you face it they are:
CH out, HW out, Gas, Water in, CH in.
Is that fairly standard?
