The first when some water got onto it (it is conveniently mounted <b><i>underneath</i></b> the heat exchanger...). I removed it and dried it out. The next time it turned out to be a knackered relay. I got a replacement from Maplin and a few minutes work with the soldering iron had it working perfectly. <br /><br />Joe Public probably won't approve, but my excuse is that I didn't touch any gas fittings or connections...<br /><br />It's an old type (not condensing), so is far more reliable anyway.microdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352078582764696261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-80196360948124230662011-11-08T10:06:11.454+00:002011-11-08T10:06:11.454+00:00Don't buy a Ravensheat boiler either !Don't buy a Ravensheat boiler either !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-3137580870949484622011-11-07T19:41:54.103+00:002011-11-07T19:41:54.103+00:00Make sure your condensate is discharging properly,...Make sure your condensate is discharging properly, a quick look at the reservoir will indicate yeah or no.<br />If your boiler is not of the condensing type - my suggestion will disappear in 30 secs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-74632136090393052502011-11-07T19:19:44.758+00:002011-11-07T19:19:44.758+00:00Fuck Global warming. it's my house I'm int...Fuck Global warming. it's my house I'm interested in. <br /><br />I've shorted out all the likely culprits such as thermostats, flow switches, etc. looks like it is the PCB.
