Hi guys got called out to a boiler giving issues as usual...boiler looks old and time for a change...issues was the boiler was going to 70 80 and then cutting out,,,PCB was replaced and the problem continued... The fan pump working fine...heres what happens when you call for heat, the burner comes alight but the piezo ticking doesnt stop but carries on tills the burners goes out...please experienced folks i needed your valueable input....thanks:wink_smile::wink_smile::wink_smile: suspect the gas valve, falme rectification or the solenoids this boiler had three....so far they are the suspect so i need your direction...anyone tackled similar problem before on this boiler...:banghead:

ej-ay pm your GS number to admin dave or dan and you will have access to the private GS section, and everything can be discussed

ecowarm
Its better to discuss in private
I agree with you ecowarm, but that said it's all been said above so, if the board was changed make sure the rectification cables are terminated correctly in the board. If you know what your doing there's plenty to go on with all the above info. Not being funny or anything, but even if you are qualified this board is viewable by anyone in the future :wink_smile:

Loving your tenacity gasman 
ej-ay ... I do not agree that it's deffo the leads, either. There is a process to work through that'll lead you to the correct diagnosis. However it requires some level of competence to carry out regardless of whether you are GSR or not. this forum is open to anyone and therefore limited in the advice you can offer safely! Once you're accepted into the GSR only area we can get a bit more technical ...
By the way if you go back to the first rules in diagnostics you may find the cause or eliminate one of the first things you verify ... IMHO

Hi Diamond gas i do i get to join the GRS... i understand the level of safety working with gas and i would like advice when not sure of diagnosis...it's safer and you learn from it...So i still need your opinion i haven't got nothing to hide i am legal to work on gas in the UK.
ive just rang GSR and i spoke to someone there and the mistake arises when you put my gas safe register number on the check a Gas Engineer, but if you put my reg no: on the Check for Gas Business it will come up otherwise you can call up and verify... Hope you'll be satisfied with it by then thanks:wink5:

Hi ej-ay ... The issue, in my opinion, doesn't lie with your credibility, it's more with the info that can be placed here for anyone to read. At least in the GSR forum you have a greater degree of comfort knowing that you're posts will be read by those vetted!
When you're dealing with flame ignition then safety critical components will most likely need checking. If I'm advising you to strip down a burner or dismantle a flue, for example, in an open forum that anyone can read, that has the potential for disaster and best kept for the eyes of those qualified IMHO Some of the possible reasons for the fault you mention could well mean you having to check and verify/adjust safety related components ...
I'm sure once you're accepted into the GSR only section this thread can be moved their and the assistance will continue
