Worcester Greenstar 24i Jnr

Never come across this before..

Boiler in demand for heating, sounds like running water from the bottom of the flue where it meets the condense trap, also a gurgling sound from the terminal (went to check for blockages). Condense run blocked? Boiler keeps locking out.

Also, fan sounds like it's taking off at times. Checked fan and no apparent faults. Spoke to Worcester who said could be the bearing membrane.

Anyone come across these and can shed some light?

Cheers

condensate trap probably blocked,have you cleaned it?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Had a few condense trap not cleaned out (also see water coming out the flue terminal if horizontal)

No.. literally just went to have a look, gonna quote to do the works as didn't get there til 7:30 this evening.. gonna do it all when I replace the membrane for the fan. Also gonna replace his flue as it's in a bit of a state from builders moving the boiler location when doing an extension

Yeah this was horizontal but didn't see any water coming out, exhaust was clear

And me,also seen the 21.5 block solid if its connected to a sink,doubt its a bearing plate as worcester have advised,these normally vibrate or a smell of gas through the fan when they fail

So could a blocked condense cause issues with noise from the fan? Since it's linked to the flue...

Depending on the trap fitted they block very easily,would remove it too check,and check the condensate run

I smelt gas.. had to put a sniffer to it at one point but it went

Yes,it causes the boiler to gurgle

check trap and run first,if there is a bearing plate issue you will smell gas through the fan motor

Had one just under half full of condense sounded like a washing machine when fan was running

Would say it hasn't been serviced for 6-9 years
