I hope that someone could please shine a little light on an issue that I am having with the above boiler.
It was installed 4 years ago, but has recently started becoming a little less reliable.
I have the heating and hot water on timed (although the problem is the same even if on constant). Quite often the heating will not come on when it should, although the hot water is perfect and have never had an issue with.
The boiler fails to start and remains inactive even when on. If I switch it to reset and then back to on what usually happens is that the boiler fires up and runs for 3 or 4 seconds before stopping, almost like it is resetting, and then starts again for 3 or 4 seconds again and so on for 5 attempts. It then stops trying and doesn't restart.
I switch it to reset and then on again and repeat the process, sometimes for 5 or 10 minutes, until it comes on and then stays on and functions again as it should for a few hours or possibly even a few days.
This is a little frustrating, but I also spend days away at a time and have to come home to a freezing cold house, and I am concerned that maybe a frozen and burst pipe may be next.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I am a pretty good DIY'er, but a tight northerner who would prefer to fix it than pay if I can help it..
