Sime Friendly E boiler problem, stupid mistake.

[tetleyt]

Hi,

I ran my boiler for around 30mins with the CH flow in/out isolated. It now fails to light for the CH or hot water.

I ‘m pretty sure I’ll have to get a professional in but I'd like to have a rough idea of what might have gone wrong so I don't get taken for a ride.

Really appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Ben

I expect it may well just have overheated and tripped an overheat device but it might have done further damage.

These boilers are certainly not friendly.

These boilers are certainly not friendly.

I agree.

I thought that there would have to be some safety feature against overheating, but this happened a couple of days ago now so I think it has had time to cool down.

Any idea about what the further damage could be?

Thanks,

I repair boilers based on what I see in front of me.

It may well have a manually resettable overheat but often these are for engineer access only.

Without being in front of your boiler I cannot say what has happened to yours.

No worries.

Thanks Tony.
