ideal 120

[xsu763]

hi guys,
can anyone help!! we have a ideal 120 combi boiler, it worked ok this morning but i've got home and the thing is dead. There has been a constant drip from it in recent weeks though very minor. The digital clock display is on but no mains light on, so its not doing anything. Any help would be appreciated

if its the 'response' its probably the low water press switch leaking into the elecs and blowing the fuse. is the drip right hand front?

Nah, it'll be the dhw flow switch dripping.
Or the pressure vessel
Or the aav.

What is the pressure now?

Is there a strange orange neon glow emanating from behind the front panel?:

 

[xsu763]

HI CHAPS THE LEAK IS SORT OF FRONT LEFTISH THE WATER PRESSURE BAR IS AT 2.5 BAR

 

[xsu763]

SORRY NO GLOW FROM BEHIND THE PANEL

 

[ChrisR]

Try the overheat thermostat H (clicks if it's out)

 

[xsu763]

NAH IT DOESN'T CLICK, SORRY IF THE WATER HAS LEAKED AND HAS KILLED THE FUSE WOULDN'T THE CLOCK NOT BE WORKING EITHER?

 

[ChrisR]

This is probably your leak:

You need to do up the blue collar if that's it.

The clock has a bettery to keep the display alive.
Suggest you check the fuses!

Oh, and STOP SHOUTING!!

I tried to nip up one of them dhw flow switches on tuesday....it ****ed water everywhere

could be the retrofit flue stat tripped ....if its got one that is.

Response is notorious for faulty heat exchanger, though it should not leak to the outside of the boiler. Was the boiler recently noisy when starting?
