We have a Glow-worm FLEXICOM 15hx condensing boiler installed in the airing cupboard on the upstairs landing.It is behind a door which has vents at the top and bottom.The boiler itself is vented straight through the loft into a pipe on the roof.
Whenever we have a shower and turn on the extractor fan we are getting a foul smell which seems to be coming from the airing cupboard. We have checked the drain pipe for the boiler and it is clear.The bathroom is located on the same landing about 8 feet away from the cupboard.
It has not always done this and the boiler was installed in April 2008 by a competent heating engineer.We have had the problem for approx 6 months now.
However we have contacted him about this problem but it seems no one can come up with a reason for the smell or where it is coming from.
It goes off slightly when a second shower is employed.
It is an awful smell and goes right through the house.The rest of the time the boiler works perfectly. It just does not get along with the shower and the extractor fan!!!!
Please help as we are getting desperate to solve this very smelly annoying problem!
My thanks in advance
