Keston c55

[stevenstn61bs@g]

Hi had a call from a customer today about the above boiler,it has a intermittent fault. does not always fire up when called for , and Read's error code which is fan not working.
this boiler [not registered] is we think about 2 years old. Any body had this fault before or any idea what wood cause this to happen to a boiler that is less then two years old.
Thanks.

Any more details? Fault codes, does the fan run at all, have you been to the job? Intermittent faults can be caused by a multitude of possibilities.

Hi thanks for your reply, the customer was told by keston that the code that was showing was a fan error fault , it is an intermittent fault as the customer says that it will run OK one day but not the next day and comes up with the code, i am going there tomorrow any thoughts that you have would be helpful as i have not worked on Keston boilers before.
thanks

Me neither regards working on them steven. The manufacturers instructions http://www.keston.co.uk/assets/pdf/C45_40P_55_Manual_WD536_1_2010.pdf show a few possible fan display codes. It's a condensing boiler end of day though. Go through the normal checks and look out for the unusual! There may be someone on later that has experience with Kestons. good luck gettn the case off!

hi do you know if the error code is e28 or b28 the e code is a error code a severe problem or the b code is a block not a severe fault,ive had keston engineers out to a boiler recently both stood and sratched heads what a boiler

Have had fan problems with Keston's. new fans are silly prices & can be awkward to fit.

this tends to work on most tat boilers

Kestons are horrible boilers to work on and a real pain in the arse fault finding on them. Good luck.

mr TP has fitted quite a few of these boilers and will continue to do so. We've been happy with them. Parts are relly expensive, infact he repaired one a short while ago and the repair bill to customer was £1,000! The most expensive boiler repair ever! Mr TP only charged the bare minimum for labour as he felt sorry for customers as parts were so expensive.

Keston technical line should be able to help you (they are part of Ideal Heating now).

Worked on quite a few of these. And in nearly everycase it has been the pcb or fan.

Check the rubber hose on the right had side for the flue as these tend to fail too. And make sure some clown hasn't used conpression fittings on the flue
