Worchester Bosch error code EA - Part 2

[Allgoode]

Hi Michael,

As the guys/girls above have mentioned you are mad to mess with the boiler.

Although you may be a smart cookie & have a copy/download of the manufacturers installation instructions giving fault codes and possible items that may be causing these you don't have the depth of understanding that fault diagnosis/fault rectification of different gas appliances.

As mentioned you have now invalidated you home insurance and put potentially yourself, your family & neighbours at risk through your ignorance/lack of depth knowledge.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE turn off/isolate your boiler & call in a registered GSR engineer & explain to him/her what you have done.

At least they can fix it for you without going up a blind alley which will cost you yet more money or if you have unwittingly done something which is dangerous & has compromised the inherent gas safety of the appliance they will isolate whilst obtaining spare parts for your own protection.

As above we won't give advice solely for the reasons as mentioned by the other posters to protect people from there own ignorance/stupidity/naivety.

Thanks,

Andy

You don't have the equipment to test the boiler is burning correctly after changing parts.

How have you tested the gas supply after changing he valve and removing the test nipple at the meter?

Wouldn' be surprised if you disturbed the barrel on testing

I can see where the guy is coming from, but in all honesty who is going to report him ? His house his boiler we know the law, and he has done wrong, But how meny others do the same thing ? it will never stop as long as all the information that is required is easily available, parts for gas appliance's can be bought over the counter by anyone, the same as test equipment, you can even hire it! All the Merchants, DIY Stores , online shopping will all sell any Gas Appliance or spare part you need with no questions asked, So as long as this go's on DIY work on gas will not stop ! and people look at what they are spending and as long as they can save a £1. they will keep on doing it.

It's upto us gas engineers to educate them, I agree with you it will still happen
