no hot water or heating

Hi. Boiler stopped working. Fault light indicates, blocked condensate drain or flame failure. Its not the condensate drain, as iv disconected it and still wont work. The boiler kicks in for 10 seconds, stops and starts a few times then the fault light comes on. Any ideas????

Hi Brasso
Would help to know what boiler it is. Try spinning the pump.

as said what make?

 

[brasso1981]

Baco combi 105he. How do I spin the pump?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

could be aps at fault you really need a gsr engineer

 

[tipintim]

When you say the boiler kicks in, do you mean it actually lights.

 

[brasso1981]

Sorry baxi not baco. Yes it fires up then stopsand starts a few times

 

[tipintim]

When running hot water only (heating off) does the same happen, or does it not fire up

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

aps would be my first guess,replaced loads doing this fault

Its just started working again. Could the flue have froze up? The temperature outside has risen to the tropical highs of plus 3. What's the aps gasman?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

aps>air pressure switch ,flue very unlikely to freeze up as flue stat would have to be re set for it to start working

 

[tipintim]

LOL. Tropical temps? Where you at. Freezing here. Glad its going, probably needs service.
APS is air presure switch.

Warrington. Is the baxi combi 105 he a decent boiler? My mrs paid 2500 for it fitted with 6 single rads about 6yrs ago. I thought that sounded expensive

the baxi 105 he is a cracking boiler,better than most
