Hi All,
This is my first ever post as a newly registered gas safe engineer. I’m looking for help on an issue I tried to help with for an old couple that live locally to me.
They have the above boiler and very recently have had constant issues with it kettling and almost immediately locking out. The pump was very weak so I’ve replaced this for them thinking the issue was circulation and the new pump would resolve the issue.
As I’m posting here it’s needless to say that the issue still remains!!! Plenty of flow through all the rads and the cylinder but still the boiler ignites and locks out immediately. I’ve bled the whole system and bled the bleed pips on top of the flow and return pipes to the boiler, all good.
I’ve suggested that the heat exchanger may be blocked and they would be better off now getting Baxi in for a one off fix.
Is there anything else I should have done for them? I’ve handed them over to Baxi and admitted it’s beyond me at this stage, but for my own knowledge and experience could it be anything else?
Thanks for any help.
Mike.
