This Ideal Classic FF380 is rapidly clicking randomly. This only happens on pump speed 3.
The video starts and the boiler has already cut out and is warm/hot.
Typical symptoms are the boiler can be happily running and then suddenly start clicking rapidly, sometimes cutting out. Boiler will attempt to come back on, usually after some more clicking. Boiler can run happily after or it can continue clicking and completely fail to complete the heating demand.
Usually when it fails completely, you can bizarrely coax it into life by pressing the control panel front. This can be seen later on in the second half of the video.
If you run the pump on 2 the boiler will not present this behaviour, that i have noticed. It does however stop after between 10min and 20 mins (when the flow is hot) and continues to cycle every 3-5mins until heating demand is complete.
This is a sealed system. I'm struggling to convey the problem to my heating engineer as this problem is random.
