Halstead boiler

[TEZB123]

Hi everyone,
just found this forum whilst looking for help for my boiler. Anyway yesterday (Xmas day) the boiler went onto lockout mode, I traced the fault back to the fan (it just hummed and was not turning). Not a problem to change but was wandering how much a new fan unit would be, by the way the boiler is a Halstead Finest Gold.
thank's for any help Terry

Fitting fans isn't a diy job, so add fitting.

Fans can be V expensive, but get a CORGI engineer to fit it so he can check the case seals that have been disturbed by a non CORGI engineer (you !)

Fans on Halsteads can be more awkward than others. For some reason they are riveted on instead of screwed.

They supply you with 3 new rivets with the fan but unless you have the tool to fit these it is a pain.

I always forget the rivets, drill old ones, out and use self tappers on the new fan. Even Halstead advise this

thank's all for your help, seem's it's nearly as cheap to have a new boiler.

Try some 3 and 1 oil down the shaft by windings it may free it doesn`t always work but worth a try

I think the same fan is used in other makes of boiler where the spares would be cheaper. But you would need them side by side to compare.

I thought the Jaguar fan looked the same as the Ideal Mini. When I placed them side by side they were the same but the opposite mirror image configuration. The brain does not remember that aspect so well.
