oil boiler noise

[CXR100]

my own oil boiler at home is making quite a hi pitch noise (like a bearing or something id imagine) everytime its on, and stays on whilts the burner is on , boiler is a worcester danesmoor, running on an open vent system , the ch pump thats by the boiler has been replaced last week as it was tripping the electric! i think the noise is getting worse , boiler is in outside shed and i can now hear it from the house when its on!!! noise has been going for a few weeks now!

it'll be the fan motor or fuel pump.

do i have to replace the whole thing or can i replace the bearing or something?? im changing the whol boiler in 2-3 weeks for a condensing, if its a cheep fix ill do it just for the practice!

Practice makes perfect.

that and to stop the headache............ off mum!!

 

[SimonG]

Might be both. Shaft seals on pump could have gone and kerosene got into the motor bearings. Just leave it, you might get 2 to 3 weeks out of it.

 

[CXR100]

cool , what would you usually do , replace both?

 

[SimonG]

Check them both out and change accordingly.

They good but I don't know much about oil got it at my house, just cracking bit of kit. Gas by trade, oil usage is low compoared to Rayburn

It will probably be the bearing on the pump end. A 6202rs bearing will do it. About 4quid on ebay. Get the *** or skf bearing the cheap quid ones dont last long

are the burners compatible if yes why not use burner from boiler you are fitting as a short term fix
