Glow-worm Ultimate 50FF - buzzing sound

I've got the same boiler in Puller Towers & it cost a fortune in gas. The damn thing will last for ever & I'm always too busy to replace it with a Band A & OT controls.
This time of year it's 100 hour weeks & Spring/Summer/Autumn its crazy with the heavy events at the Highland Games.

You don't look for a list.

You read the values on the side of each cap.

Not worth bothering about the smaller ones.

Just replace all the 300uF ones.

They have a rated life of only about 2000 hours in most cases!

Tony you are jesting, surely!!
2000 hours divided by 24 gives 83 days which is roughly 3 months
Where does this gem come from?

Either you have failed to be precise and accurate in number of zeros after 2 or it is some kind of a joke:LOL:

Thanks. I have now read the capacitor values. There are four 47uF 50V capacitors on the PCB. These are the largest capacitors (there are some others but I will ignore those for now) and they are closest to a blackened patch on the board. I'll replace them and see how it goes.
