Hi all,
I'm due to service my first Main water heater next week. I haven't taken one apart before, so I'm a bit apprehensive. The boiler is two years old, but the flame picture has a yellow tinge, so a good clean is in order.
Most of it is straightforward enough - until it comes to the funny three-point turn to remove the burner. I have the servicing instructions but could do with some tips.
The instructions say to undo the large union connection below the burner (taking care not to lose the fibre washer). So I'm thinking once that's undone, (and after also removing the pilot assembly,) the burner can come out. How tricky is it to lift the skirt of the heat exchanger to make space for it to get out? And getting it back in again afterwards?
Tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone,
Jennie
