Clock with Worcester 30CDI boiler

[Longshanks]

Hi
We have mechanical clock and I've noticed that it's very difficult to get the 12 hour and 24 hour clocks to match up. I.e when you turn the whole unit the internal (12 hour) spins but doesn't equate to outside (24 hour).

Is there a process where you hold the outside to line up inside first etc?

How far off is it? Any photos?

Hi

Thanks for response. Attached photo showing inner clock 8.10 and outer 19.10 (I think?)

I think clock is on blink as not moving with time in addition to alignment issue. There are You Tube guides to setting but these only cover scenario where you need to ensure 3pm is 15.00 etc.

This boiler is about 10 years old now so was thinking of replacing clock with digital version etc.

Is that an option?

I'm not too sure the hands inside do that much to be honest, i think of them as a vague indicator to people who can only read analogue clocks. However,I may be corrected and learn something new.

This is much more significant problem now. The clock is obviously knackere, not ticking, moving etc. However, I am now unable to turn heating off. I've turned boiler switch to off and turned thermostat down but radiators are still on!!

When boiler was installed the power supply was connected via fused connection unit but with no switch. Do I have to remove fuse to disconnect power supply?

Have BG service contract so will ring them but just want quick fuc.

Thanks again.

Is the boiler firing? or is it just the pump over run?

 

[Longshanks]

Boiler not firing so must be latter, whatever that is.

To clarify, when I said boiler turned off I meant on the timer switch, not the main boiler switch.

Radiators have gone off now but not sure whether that's due to thermo being right down or the off selected as above.

Thanks

The hands to give a 12 hour analogue display.

But I have found those clocks to be very unreliable. The only good thing is that they are not too difficult to replace.

But a programmable programmer external to the boiler would give a better functionality and about the same price or only a little more.

Thanks. BG coming aroun tomorrow as we have maintenance contract. Am I right in thinking that they will replace the clock?

If the clock is faulty then expect him to replace it.

If you make their engineer lots of nice coffee with biscuits he MIGHT even order a digital replacement if he was very nice! You could always ask!

If that's what you're offering you may get a new clock and a free powerflush from him

Thanks. They've just replaced the mechanical clock, like for like.
