In that case they get the info from the next guy. If you don't say what's wrong and it isn't fixed when you do it - how do you get on then?
Paying a lackey to do what I can do myself for a tenth of the price doesn't sound like common sense to me. You really need to chill out my small sacked friend :0)
Hi Guys.
Vokera compact 24
8 years old.
This boiler was here when we moved in. It's been pretty unreliable since.
CH has been OK but HW has to be run at a trickle in the winter or it runs cold. Also it runs hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold.
Recently the red light has started coming on and when I reset the boiler it will run for an hour or so then cut out. It seems to cut out quicker if I turn the temp down.
I am going to replace the items which, according to this forum, seem to cause the most problems and are the easiest to replace ( I am not trained, just proficient).
I have two questions:
1. Is the o/c DHW sensor the same as the DHW actuator? Or is it accessed from the back of the control panel?
2. Is it worth replacing these components
and in which order should I replace them
i.e. which is the most likely culprit: DHW Actuator
NTC Sensor
NTC Senspr
Primary Thermistor
Secondary Thermistor
NB. I suspect that NTC Senspr is a misprint in the manual and that primary and secondary thermistor are the same as NTC Sensor?
If there are any other components you think are within my scope to replace and are worth considering please let me know.
In that case they get the info from the next guy. If you don't say what's wrong and it isn't fixed when you do it - how do you get on then?
Contrary to you, I am trained, qualified, experienced, and pretty good at what I do.
It is because of this that I guarantee the work I do to solve the problem.
If it does not, I do not charge for my work.
That is why I don't need to explain what is wrong; when it works when I am done, people are happy that the problem is gone and usually don't really care what it was.
It is only the cheapskates like you that try to get people to work for free who want to know anything and everything so they "can think about it."
What they mean is:
"I want you to apply your skills and use your tools and waste your diesel to come and tell me which part needs changing. I will then first try to do it myself and when it becomes clear I'm too dumb to do it, I'll call loads of people and get the cheapest mug to just change the part."
And here is the bad news for clowns like you Joe:
Virtually all the good pro's know this, and also know how to recognise con artists like you. I even wrote a manual/guidelines on what to look out for when people like you call us.
That manual is obviously not on the open forum either.
By the way. One of your "skilled" gas fitters put a 1 bar safety valve on my boiler instead of a 3 bar.
