Hi All,
Having issues with our oil boiler. Its a worcester greenstar camray 25/32 standard boiler (not combi).
It fires up but then after a little time stops. The fan continues to run and then it keeps trying to fire which it does, for short periods of time.
It was serviced less than 6 months ago but ever since that service its been a little flaky. Initially after the service we started getting issues with it not firing first time, until it struggled to fire at all. Our heating engineer returned (the same one who serviced it and originally fitted the boiler about three years ago) and seemed to think it was the photosensor. Once new photo sensor fitted it started firing up fine again. Unfortunately ever since then even with the new photo sensor it doesn't always fire first time.
And again, now its really struggling . As we still had the old photo sensor I swapped the old with the new to see if there was any noticeable difference as to whether it could be that again, but it seems to be the same with either one.
I actually took a video on my phone of the boiler running and firing for about 2 minutes. It's pretty dark as its a bit late, but the noise is the most interesting thing.
I'll try and find a way to post the video as a link.
I'm aware I'm probably just going to have to call the boiler man in again, but at £70 a time if there is anything I can try it would be good.
I have bled the boiler, checked oil supply etc and it all seems to be flowing fine.
Any advice appreciated!
Mike
