Recently bought a house, not actually living there yet, but i went in today to find a fair bit of water underneath the boiler, i has been switched off for 2 days so though it quite strange....i had a look around and its coming from inside the boiler??

And now the bloody thing won't even turn on, it tries but to no avail

Any ideas????

 

Think you'd need a Corgi approved person to look at it for you Kim.

 

British Gas offered me some kind of insurance but i didnt take it out as i didnt think we needed it till we moved in, looks like i was wrong

 

Look at the Pressure gauge Kim, sounds like its depressurised. hence the water on the floor

 

I only know about bunny boilers I had one for an ex

 

Rewire It Where would that be, tehres nothing on the boiler itself bar a digital screen that tell you if its on or not

fpmsl everyones on form tongiht

 

my fookers done exactly the same thing, try and pressurize it by adding water and it leaks out again and drops to zilch.

your better off than me though, mine doesnt even try to turn on

 

What make of boiler and what type is it, a combi boiler ect

 

erm not 100% on the type, but am going down shortly so could find out, its a combi boiler yeah been told its not THAT old but dont have any onfo with it at all

 

Two things that imediately spring to mind if its trying to light...

1. Has the gas been switched off, as you dont live in the property?
2. Is the fan (flue dilution) running when the boiler goes through its cycle?

Ian

 

The gas has been off, but the boiler has worrked fine for the past week since the gas was switched back on...

Well as above it has been working fine until tonight so i presume so, but im not 100 % sure if im honest

 

its not a glo worm by any chance? if so press the button with a curved arrow on it untill it displays the pressure. ie 1.5. if not what make is it

 

No its a Ideal or a Isra????

 

normally on ideal boilers when you power them up and it wont work it will flash up a code on display, then refer to handbook and look for that code under fault finding

 

i dont have a handbook

well it has started working now, but still leaking water, so gonna have to get someone out

 

if it happens again, check code and use this link, fault finding codes are near the bottom
http://www.idealboilers.com/docs/pdf/isar_he_manual.pdf

 

it doesnt come up with a code at all

Tahnk thought hun

 

 

thast it exactly, but even when it wouldnt power up there was no code

 

strange

 

just my luck

Im sure things will go right for me one day

Thanks for your help

 

You deffo need a gas fitter because Isars suffer with leaks and faulty control boards which only a skilled engineer can sort

Same boiler in my house and ive had so many probs with it

 

just what i wanted to hear

think i may take out that cover with british gas

cheers
