Cleaning Baxi 552 boiler burner/jets

[Toddyplumb]

We still have a few 552s we service, and as Tamz says parts are readily available.
Take the burner out , get a nice white cloth and gently tap the burner with the inlet above the cloth , see how much dust and rust comes out.

Yer linted filter on the burner. Clean it.

Took out the 552 burner this afternoon and found a lint mat on the filter over where the burner draws in air!! Never seen so much lint here before. Cleaned main and pilot jets and washed out all the burner components.

Boiler now burning with 'classic' blue flame with tufts of orange - no yellow at all.

Baxi 552 rides again - 28 years old and amazing - has had a Honeywell valve (solenoid failed after 18 years), a spark generator and a front insulation pad this year + regular routine maintenance.

They don't make them like this any more.

Thanks to all you guys for contributing - great forum.
