Saunier Duval Thema F23E combination boiler noise

[Raiderhammer]

Hi, Can anyone help.
I have a Saunier Duval Thema F23E combination boiler whichis about 10 years old. There appears tobe a noise coming from the timer area of the boiler. Like a ticking noise that is pausing or asomething that is stuck. The timer iskeep good time.
Any ideas please?
Is it safe to use?
What would be the approximate lifetime of this sort ofboiler?
Thank you.

It probably is just the timer, don't worry too much about it.
The life of these boilers is about 8 to 10 years so you are doing well

Thank you for the reply. I was concerned there was something electrical shorting out. You don't think that is the case then?

It's not possible to give you a better idea without seeing the boiler.
if you are worried, get an engineer in.

Yes it is, do they break sometimes, it seems to be keeping time OK. Is it normally safe to use with this? Thank you.
