Help my boiler is like a broken washing machine spinning at night. Have emptied condensate pipe under boiler nothing seems to work loud banging had to turn off at mains.
 
Either or all of the following:

  • knackered pump
  • knackered heat exchanger(s)
  • knackered temperature sensors
  • knackered gas valve
  • knackered by-pass valve
  • knackered zone valve(s)
  • knackered boiler
  • knackered combustion fan

Time to call someone in!!

Are you gas Safe do you want to take a look for me? Thanks
 
What do you mean “spinning at night” isn’t the 24/2 a heat only?
Do you have a hot water tank?
 
Yes @Stu-B its heat only. Ok, @Dave69, so what is happening whilst it’s “spinning”? Any hot water being drawn off? Heating on? Hot water on? Nothing, just does it itself?

Sounds like the burner is cracked, I had one same recently, well it’s little brother the 15/2, was bad ignition and looked like it was trying to blast the cover off the chamber! Mine was attached to a heat store.
