Hi
I dont know if anyone can help, but, Im so fed up with problems from our boiler. We have an Ideal HE24 ICOS system, its just about 4 years old. It
hasnt been a problem till the last few weeks, but it now seems to be ongoing probs. It stopped working(it went on after reset button pressed, but eventually stopped working altogther) the plumber said it was a gasket. He replaced that after a few days waiting - it had been leaking water. It was also making a loud vibrating noise that came in bursts - it would make the noise about six times then stop, then it would happen again. AFter gasket replaced it had leaked more - a tube had come loose or not been replaced sufficiently when the boiler was checked - it needed a new electrode then circuit board, it had leaked into gas valve but they were able to get that out without replacing it. It has been OK for about a week/10 days, but the noise has returned. It started about 11pm last night, it even made the noise even when water/CH off during night, its doing it quite alot now. I got plumber out again but he didnt hear the noise when he was here, he said he would call Ideal for advice. Im concerned its something that will do more damage. He said there was no further leakage and everything seemed OK. Can anyone help and would it be better to switch off altogether?
