ravenhjat boiler problem

[worzeljnr]

I have just had a ravenheat boiler CSI 85B(T) installed. The problem is that the boiler will fire up okay and then after a few minutes the overheat/flame failure light comes on and then nothing works. It does this on both the hot water only selection and the ch and hw selection. I have to switch the boiler off and restart it but the same thing keeps happening. This is a brand new boiler and I had the same problem with my old one, so the problem is obviously not the boilers but the system. All the rads have been bled correctly and all valves are open. I'm rapidly losing my sanity as I have had no hot water for a week now. Can someone please help me!!

If it is brand new have you spoken to the installer?

 

[Rob]

who installed it!

Probably a circulation problem, check the pump, was the system cleaned?

 

[worzeljnr]

the pump runs ok but the system wasn't cleaned

OOOOPS

only a matter of time till it dies completly

nawty nawty

the heat exchanger is full of the shyte that SHOULD have been cleaned out when you installed it



lol

 

[worzeljnr]

is there an easy way to clean out the shyte without stripping out the heat exchanger

 

[gas4you]

Powerflush is the only way. This should have been done by your 'installer' as part of a normal boiler change Until this is done you may well find that any problems with your boiler are not covered under the manufacturers warranty

But then as you have had a ravenheat fitted I wonder whether you choose this installer because he was the cheapest rather than most professional and competent

yes, install the boiler on a CLEAN system. Like any competant person would have done

But failing that no not really, try powerflushing it clean, I dont find that works that well but the other swear by it

should read the book the boiler comes with matey and you would have saved yourself a world of pain

LMAO
