Baxi solo 3 pf load clicking noise

I think the silicone is for joining the flat cutout gasket to the base of the fan; the turret seal can't be fully siliconed in as it has to be removed with the fan assembly/combustion panel for servicing

gasket is:

Baxi Fan To Turret Gasket/Seal 230955 - Solo 2 30 Pf (GC No 4107771) from Heating Spares Centre UK

Ah right.... Why didnt the kit include that then? Thats a bit silly really. Good job its me going back there then im pretty certain the destructions said to silicon it in, ill rummage through the fan and have a look... That annoyed me a bit, dont like messing up

I'm finding a lot of spares no longer come with the seals required to do a proper job! Pretty disappointing... They know what parts / seals will be disturbed in changing what part so why don't they throw it all in the box!

Ideal was the last one, plate heat exchanger & diverter both with no seals at all!!! Grr

Been there... It was pcb. It was kind of arcing out. The burner light was flashing on and off with each arc sound. When i pressed on pcb casing it stopped. I took it apart and nothing inside was loose. The top was however smashed (plastic casing top) ?!

How much was the PCB then? Expensive job this then isn't it if it's also had a fan

the silicone is for the joint on the fan to connector, the fan is £280!!
is it mandatory to change the turret gasket?

Not mandatory; in my view the fan could be made to a 0.5mm difference to the old one which could leave a gap; also if you look at a new turret gasket compared to an old one you can see how much they "take up"over the years!

I tend to keep one on stock and change at service if getting a bit hard/powdery. Customer casually doesn't believe you when you tell them how much the gasket cost tho!

must admit, the last 3 i done since xmas i didnt change them. i just check there intact!
tbh, one felt like asbestos!!
next contract one i do think i will add it on, private is another matter unless added to the extortionate fan price.lol
