Worcester boiler 24i junior problems

[rich398]

Hi,
I have a Worcester Greenstar 24i junior. This morning the boiler was making strange noises and has since failed to work. Due to the cold weather I have tried to warm up the outside condenser pipe (just incase of it becoming frozen) but this has not worked and was not frozen. The fault light flashes so does the blue indicator light, the indicator light about once every 1-2 seconds.
Can anyone help??

Thanks

your boiler has gon into lockout, if the blue light flashes once per second.
this is due to overheat protection, or low water pressure.
what preasure is the dial reading?.

just over 1 bar

turn of the boiler, switch back on, press the reset button.
turn of heating, let the boiler go through its cycle.
now run a hot tap, what happens?.

is the pump and fan running at all when you try and fire it up?.
top up the water to 1.5bar.
now try again.
if nothing its proberbly pressure or low water switch on open circuit.
assuming the condensate drain is clear as you say.

I've put it up to 1.5 bar.
When it does fire up the ignition light comes on then goes off after a while but in firing up there is a gurgle sound coming from the exhaust area. Sounds like water (??) and the boiler makes banging noises, then goes back to reset mode
