Hi, I had a problem with my baxi solo 2pf 40 boiler system and it turned out to be grit and dust that had got into the programmer during intensive redecorating, Since getting it going again, I left it running overnight to dry out some plastering and tiling that we had been doing, the house is unoccu...

Boiler cutting out/ pump not getting signal

It turned out, that during the removal of tiles from the wall and subsequent replastering, there was lots of debris and dust that had got into the back of the programmer/controller and prevented some...

Boiler problem

Thanks for that htg engineer. my son has just bought the house, Therefore I can't tell you the exact age of the boiler, my guess is about 10 years, but I do know the whole system was worked on 3 or 4 years ago. Also a new pump fitted, very recently because of evidence left in the loft with dates on ...

Another update

With the water/CH switched off on the control box, and the boiler set at zero, there is a constant ticking coming from the box on the boiler this is the box with that is used for resetting the boiler. Does that give any better clues as to the fault?

Update on problem with boiler

Rigged the pump up independently, started it running, then switched the boiler on, bled the full system, the boiler fired up, I could hear water going through the boiler, but boiler still tripped after a few minutes running, I guess there must be more than just the pump that is waiting for a signal ...

Thanks for the comments once again. Yes I have vented the boiler and the pump and also there were high point vents in the copper pipe on the feed and return lines of the pump, and I vented those too. The pump etc is all in the loft next to the cold water tanks. There is a fused spur feeding a honeyw...

I tried bleeding the pump and two bleed points that were either side of the pump, no difference, I removed the cover from the pump power cables and there was no power present, Flicked the power isolation off, held the ...

Boiler shut's itself down

Blimey, I wasn't expecting a reply so quickly, thanks a lot guys. I don't know if there is an auto vent on it, but I'll certainly try venting the pump and purging all air out of the system before I try anything more drastic. I have bled the boiler line. It's odd that the system worked fine then star...
