Hi all
Bit of a disaster with the above boiler today. It had recently started playing up and regularly cutting out so we called in a local gas engineer to have a look.
Apparently he first diagnosed the problem as 2 ignition leads which he duly replaced but the boiler continued to encounter the same problem and so he then though to replace the air pressure switch. He tested his work by running the boiler only to find it stop working again after 10 minutes and a melted air pressure switch (the one which he had just replaced) as welll as a hole in the boiler fire wall.
Apparently the boiler overheated which caused the damage.
Was the original cutting out issue a common fault with these boilers and if so was there an easy fix?
I'm not confident in the engineer's abilities or excuses and I don't see why I should pay him anything for not only not fixing the boiler but now making it even worse.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
