Revision as of 23:11, 25 February 2007
We could do with a collection of boiler-specific faults somewhere. This should probably be in an article of its own, but for the moment I'll use this as a notepad for snippets as they come in --John Stumbles 13:02, 23 February 2007 (GMT)
- Keston C25 ignition failures
- one common reason for this is the electrodes moving apart. Do not try and bend them back when cold. Someone here said that you can straighten an electrode when hot (hold in gas hob flame) but I've not tried this myself.
- The biggest downside to Kestons seems to be parts availability
- Ideal Response 120 losing water pressure
- "Is the heat exchanger leaking yet?"
- "How badly is it leaking now?"
- Potterton Suprima locking out
- PCB fault: replacement from CET Ltd
- Baxi Barcelona
- leaks
- Ravenheat RS84F
- short cycling: cause unknown
- icos / isar / istor boiler fault
- fault not uncommon with this type of boiler gas valve.
- l..f flashing
- voltage at the gas valve on the conector (still connected) fine
- negative vacuum on the venturi fine
- connector is faulty: plug tight on gas valve pins but not making contact. Aparently this is common.
Generic parts in boilers
Could do with info on what parts of what boilers are replaceable by standard or generic parts.
- BES do a diaphragm repair kit for which they have scant information. Would be useful to have some idea which boilers it's compatible with.
- Many boilers use standard Grundfos (or other) pumps and one can just replace the heads (though on some - such as Potterton Performas - you can't, even though they look from the outside like standard Grundfos heads).
Must-also-replace parts
Some repairs involve replacing various O-rings, fibre washers etc. Would be good to know which, and if generics are OK.
