Baxi 105HE Pressure Switch Fault

[jpo2709]

Hope anyone can help as i feel someone on here may be my saviour!. I have been left by my Landlord with no Heating for 2 weeks now and my wife has become ill due to her asthma, and my Landlord has ignored my calls etc. I have a Baxi 105 he and i had a fault of a Fan Flue error light. I checked the Condensation pipe and was full of water, looking on here and in the installation instructions it looked like the pipe was fitted wrong. So i Have redone the whole pipe so it matches the guidlines in the manual. It worked for 2 hours then flagged the same fault. I then checked the Venturi and cleaned it out, and again i have the fault. Checked the Flue to ensure nothing was stuck inside etc. The only thing i have not checked is the pressure switch and the sensor tubes.

The boiler switches on as normal, the pump kicks in, the Flue Fan spins it just fails at the point of igniting. It was only serviced 2 months ago by my Landlords plumber. But what worried me was when he said ' One day its gonna need a proper service ' which was assuring!.

I used to work in Plumbers merchants and Wholesale so sold loads of these boilers, but starting to understand why Heating engineers get So frustrated!!.

Thanks in Advance:yes:

I understand your frustrations at being left without heating or hot water, but that's no excuse to mess with the boiler yourself.

As you worked in a plumbers merchants then surely you know the dangers and have heard the horror stories about DIY boiler work.

Get yourself a CO alarm and try and get it sorted by a GSE by your landlord or pay for it yourself and bill your landlord, not ideal but its better then risking your life.

Hi.

First off this paticular forum is for oil rather than gas and secondly some one who isn't gas safe registered shouldn't be touching a gas boiler, period, wever they worked in a merchants or not but I can understand your pain with your wife being ill and your landlord ignoring calls.

But despite saying all of that I erge you to contact a good qualified engineer and have them take a look, don't tinker with it anymore yourself, you are not qualified and in turn not safe to work on it.

Hope that helps.

Closed we don't condone the repairing of any boiler your self and we will not give out advice , whether the intention is good or not. Gas kills end of . Any member giving gas advice out in the open forum to a non competent person will also have there account suspended

You need a gsr in to look at your boiler. We cannot and will not give advice on the installation or repair of boilers for your own safety.

Please go to Gas Safe Register | Ensure your gas engineer is registered. or post a thread in the 'I'm looking for a plumber / gas engineer' section of these forums remembering to include your location.

If you are gsr please increase your post count to 10+ then send a pm to either Gas man or Redsaw who will then check you and then give you access to the gsr private forum.

Thank you.
