Vokera boilers

[tackleburger]

Never fit these let alone work on them. Had one the other morning not firing up. I was positive it was the air pressure switch to I fitted a new one the boiler fired up with the case and the main seal plate off. so thinking it was sorted I put the covers on fired the hot water on same again. only fires with the coverwith the seal slightly open. I thought fan or blocked flue but it's an old mynute and looks like a nightmare to remove the van to check out the venturi. I get home tonight and I had a call from a bloke with a Linea with the same problem. Anyone familiar with this fault I don't have much time to faff around.

Remove the venturi and wash it out. Blowing through it will not work.
Vokeras (and Sabres ie rebadged Vokera) are very prone to this.

Fitted a Linea HE on Monday. 1st Vokera i have fitted for years at the insistance of the cust. What a pile of rubbish

Yeap it's the venturi.
Remove the flue connector elbow, put a long thin screw driver down into the venturi, at the same time pull off an air pressure tube on the fan connector & put another thin screwdriver into the venturi, waggle these about, should clear blockage the blow through. put screwdriver into other a p tube connection & clean. Check tubes & reassemble, should cure problem

I have fitted about 3 of these boilers and they are a pig to fit IMO
