also check the condensation pipe if its outside, make sure it's not frozen

Pressue - no idea where to look?
The screen is blank, stays blank when the mode button is kept pressed in too
I'm guessing somethings popped inside, internal fuse or summat?
It was flashing F then 25 intermittently yesterday and i had to hit the reset button to get my hot water on

turbo_3dr_tommy

when it blows a fuse its usually either your Fan or Pump thats fooked but can never tell with out actually looking at it

Yes most probably condensate pipe frozen outside ??
Tip a kettle of boiling water over !!

arse. any ideas where the internal fuses are? I'll have a looksie now. We're all huddled around the plasma trying to keep warm

turbo_3dr_tommy

Fucking thing just fired when i tipped a kettle full of water over the pipe outside (that doesnt seem to fit properly? 15mm copper just sitting inside some 22mm plastic? Is it meant to be like that?)
Came back in. made a brew with what was left out of the kettle, hit the button and it worked!
Cheers guys!!

Just had the exact same problem with ours lucky my mates a plumber and he sorted it out
he told me to wrap it in armaflex or something

Turboboy67

Condense pipe is meant to be 22mm from the outlet on the boiler, if it goes outside most manfactures recommend 35mm waste pipe, The one I installed on Friday was done in 42mm,

It will freeze again if this weather continues so keep an eye on it, and when the weather improoves change it to a bigger size pipe and/or insulate the external discharge pipe so it doesn't happen again.

Should all be in plastic !! no copper !! make sure its insulated outside !!! or if it can be routed another way internally !???

As turboboy said, Condensate pipe when outside must be minimum 1 1/4". The fuse in them is on the printed circuit board.

turbo_3dr_tommy

yep deffo should not be in copper should be all in plastic as the copper will corrode as the condensation eats it as it is acidic

turbocabs

if combi boiler will have 15mm copper for the blow off pressure

turbo_3dr_tommy

we are on about the condensate pipe mate not the blow off
