Hi,
I've been having problems with my Ideal Mini HE C24 combi boiler (see previous post). I recently fitted a new PCB and it appears to have sorted the problem i was having, however I still don't think it's quite right...
(I currently do not have it wired up to any kind of thermostat/programmer, I am just trying to get it operating correctly using the control switch on the front for now).
This is what is happening -
It appears to work normally when switched to water and heating, i.e. the boiler is active and the radiators get warm. When I then run a hot tap, I get hot water, no issues so far...
However when I turn off the tap the boiler shuts down for a couple of minutes, before firing back up and continuing to operate central heating as normal.
I've had a read of the manual and discovered a section titled "anti cycling setting" (no idea what this means...), where its states you can reduce this delay from 3 minutes to 30 seconds by moving dip switch 4 to the off position, which I have done.
So, my question is this -
Is this delay normal?
(I do not remember it doing this prior to changing the PCB, and my sister's Baxi boiler does not have any delay at all)
If it is a fault, what might be causing it and what can be done to fix it? Is it something I can fix myself or would I need to call a Gas Safe engineer out?
I don't think this problem will affect the overall operation that much, but I'd like to get it properly sorted whilst I'm on with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
