Hi all, my Ideal combi boiler has been playing up for 3 weeks. The boiler is 18 months old. Boiler is in my garage. Radiators are bled, pressure is ok, not dropping.
The burner doesn't fire in in 'run' mode. I think there's a problem with the signal from the remote thermostat too. It takes ages to get the burner to fire, the restart button doesn't work and I have to re-start it at the wall. Boiler then comes up to temperature, switches off and refuses to restart. I had error code L1 - overheat. It can then take hours for the boiler to re-start.
I've got no heating or HW. I only have HW when the boiler is on 'continuous on'. And I can rarely get the boiler on.
I've had 4 engineers in the last 2 weeks. 2 from the insurance company left without doing anything, one carried out a service and the 4th was from Ideal who has inspected the boiler under warranty.
The Ideal engineer replaced the pump and remote signaller. He carried out a thorough check and the boiler & HW were on when he left.
I then came home from work, house freezing, no heating or HW again. The boiler hasn't come on this morning and it's taken me 2 hours tonight to re-light the burner. When the burner comes on it makes a loud whoosh and switches off. It has eventually lit and stayed on.
Water & CH are on maximum -the rads are scolding hot. If I turn the setting down the boiler goes off.
I'm going to call Ideal again tomorrow but I can't keep taking time off work to wait in for engineers - does anyone know what the problem(s) could be?
