Hi All,
I have a Worcester Bosch 24i which is showing a fault intermittently (the light flashes 4-5 times per second).
The boiler fires up fine and occasionally (but not always) when the hot water is switched on it cuts out. Because it isn’t every time I don’t think its a fault with the diverted valve.
on other occasions it fires up and then cuts out after anything between 20 mins and 2 hours. It seems to be better earlier in the day.
I do have a gas engineer who I generally trust but he was flat out working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week before Christmas. he managed to pop round as a favour but typically when he was here everything worked fine and the fault couldn’t be replicated. He did say it was difficult to diagnose due to the number of faults connected to that light sequence but suggested replacing the sensors first at 240 for parts and labour and if that didn’t work then move onto PCB, valve and wiring harness (at 300ish plus labour). If going down that route I’d be close to 700 quid down if the sensors didn’t fix the problem.
In his opinion a new boiler would be the most economic solution and while I would love to do this I am currently at risk of redundancy so struggling financially. So really just reaching out for 2nd opinions - can anybody narrow down the likely cause based on the above.
Additional info, the guy above repressurised the system when he came so pressure should be ok. A few weeks before this started we had a radiator in the kitchen replaced, all others rads were bled but don’t know if this could have caused an issue somehow.
Any help much appreciated.
