Hi
I've posted before about my Camray Quartet oil boiler that suffers from intermittent lockout problems.
It was problematic early this year ran fine for the spring and summer and has just start playing up again.
So far it's always been cured with a simple press of the reset button except for today.
I did purchase a new capacitor as I had a similar problem about 3 years ago and fitting the capacitor cured it although that hasn't been replaced yet.
A few weeks back I started to notice a noise when the boiler first fires up in the morning. Thinking about it, it sounds like a noisy fan kind of noise which gradually wears off after a while so I'm wondering whether this may be my problem?
Today when I went to reset the boiler it took about 4 presses before the fan kicked in all I got was a humming noise so I'm fearing a breakdown is
imminent.
From advise here, lockouts can be caused by many problems so what's the best diagnostic sequence for getting to the root of the problem?
Change capacitor first and then move or or what?
P.S my boiler is serviced regularly and was last done 3 weeks ago.
Thanks for any help
