isar boiler not igniting

[alichicken]

Can anyone help me please? My boiler is not igniting and there are no codes being displayed on the front, is there any easy way to fix it???

 

[OLLIE20]

Take it it an isar/icos

Is there anything on the display?

Or is it blank, all lights out?

 

[alichicken]

No lights on at all apart from the small red light on on/off button.

 

[OLLIE20]

Isar/ Icos yes??????

Chances are your main pcb/ Display PCB or both have gone, this can be caused by other compnents going on the boiler, you need to hope thats not the case

They are expensive parts and you WILL need an RGI to install them

Best to replace this boiler, as they are easily amongst the worse if not the worse made in the past 10 years

Check the purple wires from main PCB to display PCB are making good connection

it's under guarnantee so guess i'll be putting a call out to them!! Cheers

Guarentee, with Ideal,

There is no such thing, mate, theres no chance they will honour it, they never do

They will do something like check water quality, tell you its not been flushed, even if it has, and has nothing to do with your fault, and quite happlily void your warranty

Your not the 1st and i'm sure you wont be last

Good Luck

P.S. IS IT AN ISAR/ ICOS

These boilers are fine if fitted properly, let us know how Ideal sort out your problem.

 

[alichicken]

think so, I meant with the gas board, we've had problems before and they have fixed it. Thanks

 

[OLLIE20]

Oh BG will sort it, no bother, Ped these boilers are not alright no matter how they are fitted and thats a fact, theres 1000's of breakdown guys nationwide who will back me up on that and a few on here,Why do you think the like of BG dropped ideal, it wasnt because their boilers wer the dogs was it

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

you plank. these boiler are just as good as all the other stuff out there IFfitted on a good (clean) system..

look these boilers are thrown in on warmfront & by house builders I dont know if you lot would all be saying there ****e if only RGI fitted them on good systems.. do you think worcester vaillant baxi viessmann etc would cope with being lashed in. sorry but you are wrong

 

[Corgigrouch]

OFI... There are plenty of Worcester Juniors that are thrown in on dirty systems too yet the dirt doesn't seem to upset the PCB on these....

 

[OLLIE20]

Oh dear Ideal fan club in, they've not made a good boiler for years next you'll be telling me the Respnse was top notch

Whats all the PCB failures, and O rings on plate (domestice side), insulation panels falling apart and totally wrecking the boiler and i could go on, got to do with install

Considering you only work on "Ideal" boilers, i hardly think your in a position to make good judgement

Come on lads back me up

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

CG- Every boiler manufacture has a few skeleton boilers/parts

Worcester junior standerd efficency crap boiler. PCB was awful.

Baxi 105e Noisey & venture melting all the time.

Ravenheat Biasi Glow worm not enough time to list faults with these!!

So I rest my case

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

I dont work on just Ideals .I work on every manufactuer under the sun!

I dont work for Ideal boilers.

 

[PEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN]

All modern boilers are ****te, they "all" have some issue or other, Isar/Icos pcb, Glowworm combustion seals and crap o rings, Baxi Solo igniter and door issue, Ravenheat and their like are ****te from day one, Ferroli Optimax heat Xchanger, fibre washers leak at 6 months, Gas Safe letter regarding Buderous safety issue, Keston, well no need to say anymore with their photocopied amatuer paperwork, after 40 years in this game I could go on and on, I can give you a story about lots of manufacturers being a pain regarding comeing out and fixing stuff whether it's boilers fires showers whatever, sure Ideal are not Ideal, but neither are the rest, and as far as the great God Worcester, why the fek do you have to buy a whole bloody gas valve at £200.00 plus, just to get a soddin solenoid worth about £20.00, £183.00 for 5 minutes not a spanner out and "wrong" information, customer dopey enough to pay it, all it had was a clogged DHW plate xchanger which I ended up fixeing, so yes Worcesters are affected by crap in the water.
