Ideal Icos HE24 no heating

[labrajaws]

I have an Ideal Icos HE24 fitted by George Wimpey in 2005. There is an electric programmer (for CH and HW) in the airing cupboard and an electric Honeywell thermostat in the hall.

The problem is that since yesterday we have no heating. Hot water seems fine (although I'm not sure if the boiler supplies this or the water heater also in the airing cupboard).

I've tried overriding both the programmer (setting HW to Cont) and the thermostat (increasing to max i.e. 30 degrees_. Still no joy. I hear the thermostat click at around 10-12 degrees which is about right for the house temperature.

I've tried turning the boiler off and on again and also pressing the reset button but the status shows "3" briefly then "0" which I think is standby (no CH demand). The "burner" led is out/off at all times - no flicker when turning off or on again).

I've also tried setting the lever on the pump(?) (Honeywell black box) in the airing cupboard from Auto to Manual but still no CH and no boiler display change, as suggested on another post.

Please can anyone suggest what to try next (British Gas coming tomorrow but have been threatened it may cost up to £399!!!)

I'd suggest not to call BG. Call a local recommended plumber instead. Should take no more that 15 mins to diagnose.

couple of visits and a new pcb adds upto £300 not much more!
