Hi all, hoping someone can help.
Bought our flat in October and it had an ideal logic combi 30, all seemed to be working ok until I noticed the timer wasn't ticking. It has a mechanical one fitted in the front. So I ordered a replacement online, plugged it in and off she went. The only difference was that the cable that came with the timer had a different size connection to the one I removed, the boiler has two connectors, and this one fitted into the smaller connector on the right. The old one was in the larger connector on the left. Anyway, the timer worked so I thought it was just a design feature to accept different timers etc.
Then we noticed that the thermostat wasn't working, it's a Honeywell mechanical type. So at the moment the only thing we can do to adjust the temperature is on the boiler itself which is obviously not great and tricky to get the temps right. I called out a boiler repair man who tested everything, confirmed the thermostat is sending the right signals etc with his multi meter, but couldn't work out why the demand was not being read by the boiler. To be honest I wasn't hugely impressed with him so it won't surprise me if someone tells me he missed something obvious. He was going to speak to Ideal for me but that never happened.
Can anyone else share any light on this scenario or offer some suggestions? Could it be the timer connections etc? He did try the boiler without the timer connected and the thermostat still had no effect.
