Potterton Gold H18 noisy

Customer says that the boiler makes an intermittent loud howling noise.

I had the thing running for an hour without a hint of unexpected noise, has anyone come across this before? :thinking:

Yes in fact a house on my street has this problem but I don't know what boiler it is as they declined when I asked if they wanted me to take a look as it didn't bother them! Most likely an incorrect gas valve adjustment will be the cause but obviously difficult to say if you don't actually hear it

Also its highly irregular as to when it actually makes the noise some days a lot others only once or twice! Its loud enough for me to hear sat inside my house several houses down too and would describe it as sounding like blowing over the end of an empty bottle only much louder

needs setting up with FGA known as "hooting" WB do it when low fire is out......

yep i agree with vern i have had this myself with wb boilers and needs the air gas ratio setting

 

[kozak1968]

Had the same as vern WB making noise, their guy adjusted gas ratio
