F14 Error

[Deleted member 105431]

F14 is a blocked plate heat exchanger.

My manuals show F14 as gas valve, In either ultracom or flexicom

Just checked with the site downloads and they are the same

OP says its a 30cxi, not an ultracom/flexibom 30cxi.

If it is the old CXI then I would concur, flow temp increase due to blockage. F14

Though Im going with it being 2 1/2 year old, (jump to conclusion emoticon)

How do I tell which version I have and also is the blocked bit something that can be unblocked?
Cheers.

the old cxi was still being made 2 and a half years ago and there's still plenty of em in warehouses.

The ultracom/flexicom will have the words written on the badge on the front case.

If you have the manual Mark, then tell us the gc no, (gas council number)..

Alternativly does yours look like one of these. http://www.glow-worm.co.uk/products/combi_range.asp

That is the same as my manual but my boiler has a timer dial where the big circle with glow worm is written on the manual picture.

you have the old cxi like I said earlier, and a blocked plate heat exchanger.

least I know it is an old piece of crap not a newer one
Is the blocked HE not something that could be unblocked or is it a sealed unit that cannot be blown through or something like that.
cheers.
