[CXR100]

just serviced one of these this morning , tenant calls me now saying it displas 2 fault codes like > < , and then a -l l- . she said then , it did show these before you came over! I didn't see them and had boiler running on heating and hot water, and in servicing mode, whats wrong with it?

Tried the normal off the on again ?

The -| |- sign is the condense trap filling.

Bet she's been turning the power off.

Nothing, if main power has been off its going through self check mode takes up to 30 min then it will run as normal

That's a bit stupid never come across that before

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

As above its going through the self check/commission mode.

Its what they do, real pain in the arse if you have had the main power off, and you want to be off to next job.

You can put the boiler into service mode to work on it but it does go straight back to checking itself after.

 

[buckley plumb]

You can turn it off on the cdi

I have a Worcester combi at home (Badged BG) not my choice was here when we moved in, but living out in the sticks we get quite a few power cuts sometimes just quick on and off, boiler straight into self check mode, got used to it now,

Servicing on a Sunday morning?

Sounds like condense or air purge mode... Didn't think the si had digit display unless its the later compact one?

Turn it off on the engineer menu.

Sometimes a pcb fault causes it to come on for no reason, so either replace pcb or turn off in settings

In my humble opinion the condense trap two inverted ts [ -||- ] is a big pain in the backside because quite often it goes through the motions even if theres been no interruption of power. Customers often think its a fault . If I we're Worcester I'd do away with the sequence.

If i were worcester i would do away with worcester.

Why would the most successful boiler manufacturer do that lol

Good point
The alarming regularity of how the fall apart keeps me busy as a bee
