WB heat cells cleaning tools...

[mutley racers]

Do you guys actually use these? Or just use the brushes you have on van. I see the junior has a baffle removal tool, can you get these out without it? It says in the manual that the baffles do get stuck and so you will need this tool. Not cheap at £27 though

 

[Roger Welton]

Baffles will come out normally, though its not fun if the boiler is hot!

I tend to use a stiff bristled flue brush and loads of water to rinse through.

 

[mutley racers]

cheers for the advice. This boiler is 5 yrs old and if the fan pressure is within range, would you still service the cell

 

[gasmanrob]

They are a horrid job even if they are a little warm as the inner cell is still really toasty. I've always managed to reach them by hand.

if fan pressure is in range then I probably wouldn't worry too much about it if you do make sure you've got the gaskets to put it all back

 

[Roger Welton]

I would, dont forget the joint, and i'd probably take some electrodes for a ride also.

When you say Gaskets, do you mean Gasket? Just the one that goes from fan to cell?

Joint?

Electrodes as well. So I just change them any way. An expensive service isn't it

 

[Roger Welton]

joint = gasket here

Electrodes only if needed, carry them on the van, as the detection electrode seems to get burnt away fairly rapidly (same with cdi)

 

[Dotty]

They're pretty much the same electrode and gasket set aren't they?

on the round hex(commonly called the kebab)yes,same gaskets and electrodes,on the square wb5 hex though different electrodes and a bit easier to service,gasket not normally needed

So the Greenstar CDI you don't need to change the gasket on the front every time you remove it? Only when needed. It does say in the MI'S that you need to hey

no,most i work on are ok,worcester tech confirmed when i asked only renew if needed,obviously good idea to have one on the van though
