Hi everyone,
William here from Cumbria, originally from Essex, Chelmsford.
I moved in to a new house about 2 years ago which has a worcester greenstar 30cdi fitted. It's a 5 bed house so plenty powerful enough for the property.
Ever since we moved in the boiler which is in a cupboard in my sons room has made a whirling noise with some vibration when the central heating starts up, when it's in full flow it quietness down, but not silent.
Recently it's got much loader to a point it wakes everyone up on that side of the house, it seems to vibrate across the walls.
I have no idea what it could be so before I call out a plumber I wanted to share to the community a video. It's 5 minutes long but offers you the chance to hear boiler in action, the fittings, and how when I push the top with some force the vibration stops but the whiling inside continues.
The sound needs to turned up but it is loud.
I know and have heard other worcester greenstar 30cdi's in action and they make no noise whatsoever so clearly mine has a problem.
Here's the video which I'll keep live if you ever need to refer to it on other posts. It's 5 mins long.
Has anyone come across this problem before? I would love to hear how such a problem could be fixed/diagnosed. Or is the case that the boiler is old and needs replacing.
Hot water and heating works very well, and the boiler is about 7 years old.
Many thanks
William
