Hi guys
I have a reoccuring problem with an Ideal HE C32 boiler. Works ok for about 3 months the starts with a lockout problem. It has 3 LEDs which flash an error code. I have the manual. It flashes error code 8 - CONDENSATE BLOCKAGE. The recuperator fills with condensate to sensor level but how the drain pipe is designed i can't stop this. I have tested the sensor which reads ok but have also replaced anyway. Checked wiring to PCB. All ok. There is a main PCB and a small jumper PCB which the wires from the sensor go to. Could these be my problem. They are availibe seperatley or is it just the condensate in the recuperator causing the fault? There isn't a blockage but it does collect water. Confused! Is this a common problem??
