I got called to a breakdown on a Greenstar Heatslave 18/25-OSO-GB yesterday. It had been playing up, intermittently for about 2 weeks - why do people wait until these things escalate?
Anyway. I got there and investigated, starting with the tank filter and working backwards (Based on the symptoms as explained by the customer) but couldn't find a reason for the lockout, at this stage, so I thought I'd check the pump/fan.
Took the pump off and checked it, and the fan at the same time. Put it back together and replaced the burner.
When I turned the oil supply back on, it flooded straight through the pump into the combustion chamber!
Anyone come across this before, and if so how was it remedied please?
I am going away for two weeks on Friday and would like to get my customer's hot water working for them before I go as they are a regular service customer of mine.
Thanks
