Dead Grant combi boiler

[Ballysillancfc]

I'm looking for a quick checklist of faults for my boiler which has decided to give up the ghost.....again!

Not out of oil.

Not overheating.

When the boiler is switched on it does very little, a few noises but nowhere near lighting up. - Any ideas?

Cheers

That description doesn't give much to work from does it?

A few noises

So it could be a few things.

The pump might be siezed (or it might not).

It doesnt which is why I was looking for a few pointers to common faults.....

So, to sum up, your boiler doesn't do much, makes a few noises.

All you will get told with that amount of info is that it's broke. If you can't be bothered, I doubt anyone else will either.

If you haven't got a manual, download one.

If you are only able to say that it makes little noise and apparently cannot clearly say if the pump is running and dont even state what model it is then its unlikely you have the skills to do anything to make it work.

The only thing you MIGHT be able to do is to check that you have water in the system and at the correct pressure if its a sealed system.

Otherwise then the obvious advice is to get a competent OFTEC boiler engineer in to diagnose the fault.

On reflection, I suspect this IS a seized oil pump.

Is this a big/expensive job to replace?

I don't.

It MIGHT be a seized motor

Or it might not be

Time to get an Oftec engineer in
