Just moved into a new house, it has an Ideal Minimiser SE60 fitted which I was informed was fitted in 1999.
It whistles when running on Hot Water only, if I select both heating and water then it doesn't seem to do it at all.
It's very difficult to isolate the source of the sound, I'm certain it's not coming from the fan and it does reduce if I turn the internal thermostat down to 4, the boiler seems to function perfectly normally otherwise
I've had the burner off and cleaned inside the heat exchanger with flue brushes, made no difference.
Is this a sympton of kettling?, and if so what is the cure?.
Grateful for any and all advice.
Dave
