Recently you diagnosed a problem with my Ideal Response 120 not heating water - you recommended I clean or replace the DHW flow switch. I've cleaned it and it worked for a couple of days but now its behaviour has become erratic. Sometimes it works perfectly and others it starts (eventually) then the burner switches off and I lose hot water.
I came to an understanding with it where I start the water to trigger the switch then keep the flow on about 50% to ensure it heats the water quicker than it distributes it. However, tonight when trying this technique the boiler let out to sickening thuds, similar to being hit by a baseball bat (something I've considered but not yet done!). Obviously something's not right with the flow switch and it more than likely needs replacement, but can you explain these thuds? It has continueed to heat the radiators flawlessly throughout all of this.
