Hi everyone,
This is my first post on the forum, so hello to all. I hope someone can maybe help with a problem I am having with my Ferroli Maxima 35S boiler.
I had an initial fault code relating to the boiler not lighting. I called my plumber who came out and found that the wire to the flame (ionising) sensor was heat damaged, with very brittle insulation. It looked as if this had been shorting against the case, hence no signal from the sensor. He replaced this, and also the ignition lead which also had brittle insulation. The boiler is about 4 years old.
A few days after the repair, the boiler failed again, this time with a flue gas sensor fault. He came back and took the cover off again to find the wire from the flue temperature sensor was also damaged. Surprisingly though, the insulation on the new flame sensor was damaged again.
There are a few other wires that run through this casing, but all look ok.
My plumber rang Ferroli but they were no help really. What was a concern was that they advised that they had discontinued supplying wiring spares for this boiler, very disappointing with what I thought was a fairly new unit.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to whether there may be some underlying problem here?
My plumber is still being very helpful with this, but I thought it would be useful to see if anyone here had any views or even experience of this issue.
Many thanks,
Mark
