Netaheat prob

[jelboy]

Hi all
I have a prob with a 10-16 Netaheat. The black box went and I replaced it - all fine. The customer now reports that the hw is too hot to touch even with the boiler stat at minimum... DHW on gravity, cylinder direclty above boiler. Overheat stat presumably ok as when I was there the boiler wasn't running all the time.. Any ideas?
thanks

Are boiler stats still available for these archaic monsters?

Yes, everything is I believe

You'll have a lot of trouble getting one of those.

They ain't got one

Why would you call them that??
I fitted one in my own house 26 years ago and i have never had need to remove the cover!
When tested with FGA it is still burning well within acceptable parameters !!

I wonder how many of todays heaps of c**p will last half that time even after throwing hundreds of pounds worth of spares at them??

I fully realise that by making this statement the gremlins will be sent to punish me ,but as i have a complete set of spares that I have scavenged from boilers which I have replaced for customers who chose to ignore my advice I dont give a flying feck!!!

Excellent post. Someone who speaks up for themselves and does not follow the crowd. Well done

Noisy, huge, ugly, inefficient, short on parts, safety record, asbestos...yuck. I have a 40 year old Lambretta I love because it's beautiful but I cannot imagine why you would see fit to hold onto a 30 year old boiler. The extra money you would have been paying in gas in the last few years would have paid for a new boiler already.

These boilers are unservicable because of the asbestos and i have been told not to service the few that remain in my local council stock which means the council will have to replace them.....about time
