and I mean completely! We're not daft - or tight - just broke!). Notwithstanding, fortunately we've had no operational problems, despite it never having been serviced (we simply ran out of cash 6 years ago.
It was fitted by my wife's CORGI-registered cousin 7 years ago when we asked for a combi boiler with high-pressure (Yes! I know NOW!!!) for our shower and one which wouldn't go cool when other taps were turned on (yup, once bitten. We own a Worcester-Bosch Highflow 400 (I believe it's the "RSF" version, although I thought it was simply a balanced flue - until I grabbed the "Installation and Servicing Instructions" which were labelled otherwise!). trying desperately hard not to get stung for plenty of parts being unnecessarily swapped out to mend our slightly poorly boiler(!). The system was all power flushed by British Gas in 2005 when there were problems and annually serviced by them since 2000.Amateur newbie to the forum here. There will still be a power flush in a week or so (I will remember to ask them to change the DHW heat exchanger) and we are having a filter system put in as well.
Currently I have heating (yay, better than nothing but neither myself nor the British Gas chap wanted to try running the hot water until tomorrow in case things went completely wrong again.Ī Worcester engineer is coming out tomorrow at British Gas' request, to try and resolve the problems once and for all. British Gas spoke to Worcester who thought that at least the fan problem might be a faulty circuit board so here we are. The latest is that the fan has been replaced, along with the primary cutout switch (wasn't responding) and the circuit board. However tey're currently at a loss as to what has caused 2 fans to fail. This worked for about 3-4 hours but failed again, possibly after using the hot water.īG think there is muck in the system which may be causing the initial problems of overheating and tripping the cutout switch. BG eng replaced the fan & air pressure switch. BG eng replaced the main heat exchanger & put in 2 lots of fastcleanse as we also booked a power flush for Feb 17.įeb 03: Boiler stopped producing heat/hot water but NO overheat cutout switches tripped. Jan 29: boiler worked ok for a couple of days & then started banging again. BG eng replaced the pump & cleaned the bypass/thermostat tube. Jan 22: boiler worked fine for several days then started banging when hot water run. BG eng reduced system pressure & repressurised the expansion vessel. Jan 02: boiler overheat cutout switch had tripped several times. BG engineer reset overheat cutout switch and repressurised the boiler (it had gone low). We're getting fed up with a series of boiler problems which so far British Gas have been unable to solve.
