Isar he30 carp

[Chris F]

Phone call this morning. Ideal isar he30 won't fire, it goes through a sequence makes two loud whooshing sounds that the custard said vibrates the case then it locks out to LF flame detection error.
I changed the ignition probe and rectification probe 6 months ago so I can rule them out.
Before I go is there anything common with these. I know they are utter cack and as this house has 7 dogs and reeks to high heaven I would like to be relatively quick hehe
Cheers lads.

Condense pipe blocked.

Yeah that's what I thought. I was just praying it was something else. It runs below the kitchen sink. The kitchen floor is covered in dog cac :_(. I'm dreading going round.
Aren't these things prone to sludging up in the condensate?

If it goes in to the sink waste then sounds like it. I did 2 last week. One glow worm, one icos.

 

[Chris F]

Thanks a lot for that mate. 🙂

They do seem to crud up a lot, I've done a few....the traps are rubbish and far too small IMO.

They are one of them boilers that a lot just analyse and say they have done, they must be cleaned properly, a bit like the house by the sounds of it

The condense trap is very prone to blocking, it is a really bad design. Take the sump cover off, carefully, to check. If blocked they can hold a couple of litres of water.

I think your normally better taking trap off first as per mi with a bucket ready underneath as if its blocked there could indeed be a good litre of filthy grey condensate.

Slacken 3 screws with wet Csc at the ready

The last isar I did was backed up with condensate. Trap was piped in to the waste after the kitchen trap with appliance waste spigots. The blockage was in the waste t and not in the boiler trap. So be sure to check the whole condensate run.

isar goodness

That's what happens when they're not serviced Ermi 🙂!!!

 

[Chris F]

Thanks a lot for all the advice lads 🙂

The only problem with removing the condense trap is getting them to seal again. The outlet spigot corrodes and they won't seal. I spent ages on an Icos trying to fit a new trap. Wouldn't seal up. Evan after hack sawing the bottom of the spigot off. I've never known a manufacturer to tell you in the instructions to hack saw off part of the appliance either. Just shows you how bad they are.

I looked after quite a few of these on a contract and the ignition generators are prone to weakening causing them to light with a bang.

Condensate was Completley blocked. Sump was full of water. I don't service these I only do breakdowns for this contract but apparently it was serviced last month. LOL 🙂 it looked like the contents of a volcano in the sump.
