worcester 38cdi come giving EA fault

[Gasmk1]

called this morning had aquick look change electrodes as ionisation probe was quite burnt away, but went off again later calling back anything i should look for thats obvious ( customer has not had it serviced regulatrly so the warranty is void even though it had 6 years)

Distance right ? Did it fire etc ?

 

[Gasmk1]

i changed the electrodes for a new set the updated version as i carry a set with me usually, also checked and cleaned condensate trap. yes it fired ok checked it fired for heating and hot water but appparently when the homeowners son had a shower later on it went off again. will carry out more tests when i go back. just wondered if there is anything obvious

Bearing plate sticking?
Had a few do this recently

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Without any more info / tests no

Did it fault before you changed the probes ?

 

[Gasmk1]

The fault was why I visited the job boilers been in about 4 years only had one service. Gas supply is ok like I said I will be going back to carry out those checks just wondered if there was anything obvious that I might miss. Seeing as how EA is such a vague fault

Thanks forgot about bearing plate this should give me iffy C O readings if it is sticking, I will pick one up just in case

 

[Scott_D]

The Ines I have had are working fine but sometimes it sticks and fails to light
I believe you need new gaskets if opening it up
