Dear EXPERTS,
After a successful outcome previously, I've come back after several years needing some more help! I hope the below information is sufficient, but please ask if I've missed anything.
PROBLEM
My Ideal FF380 boiler fires intermittently (every 10 mins for about 2 mins at a time) even when both CH & HW are switched OFF on the timer. It works perfectly other than this. I've been switching the boiler on&off using the main switch for the last few months which requires early morning wake ups to switch hot water on in advance of my family members needing a shower! I'm tired as a result!
DETAILS
I have the following:
- Ideal FF380 Classic fanned flue boiler
It's approx 8 yrs old
- I have a Lifestyle LP241 timer programmer
MY INVESTIGATION SO FAR...
I'm no expert but having been advised by people at work, I've disconnected the timer (Lifestyle LP241) from the wiring and problem still occurs. Am I right to conclude then that it isn't the timer? My colleague at work suggests it must something in the boiler.
Any suggestions as to what to do next will be most welcome! [/b]
