update on dead ideal icos 15he

[Billy Bob Bob]

its now back working pcb had failed and so had the detection electrode or the electrode seen the pcb off but i dont think so,when i removed the black box for the orange one and put the dip switches in the right place i took the pcb out of its housing this is what i found
the transformer had failed causing the melting to the pcb cover and the knackerd electrode so if you want extra confirmation the boards gone see if theres any distortion in the plastic case,dont forget to check the fan resistance because that will blow the board as well its between 110 and 130 ohms,on this boiler pull the black/earth wires off the side of the board if you get continuity the electrodes gone as well this fault was shown up by there being no display on the user interface but was caused by a blown pcb and duff detection electrode

I did send a PM to Dan about the pictures not working the private gas area. Hopefully, he'll look into the permissions.

These boilers are bad for melting things, I have seen a PCB totally destroyed by melting. Also I have seen the whole back of the burner box destroyed and melting because of faulty electrodes. I don't know how Ideal have not been dragged over the coals for making this boiler. Surely its a health hazard having one of these sitting on your kithen wall.

I'd ID everyone I saw if I could

I hate these damn things. ICOS and ISARs.. Got a service to do on one first thing tomorrow, Ill get my ID label ready and the Brochures for the new one going in! lol

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

are the isars the same? seen plenty of icos

 

[CES]

Yup!.. Just the combi version, still as bad in my opinion, You just need to wave a spanner near them and they breakdown.
