Hi all. New to the forum so apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I arrived here after finding the below thread:
https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/...just-started-to-make-a-whirring-noise.115476/
We have an Ideal boiler in the house, and to be fair has been active for 12 years so I guess I've had some mileage.
My engineer bloke had a look and diagnosed that the fan was burned out, or rather the motor on top of the fan. The motor was roasting hot and impossible to touch and I'm assuming that because of this the boiler isn't firing?
The only thing we aren't sure of is how to identify the correct replacement, if it's a series 1, 2 or three etc.
I found this part which LOOKS identical but I'm not 100%.
