Now I will moan about British Gas

[Leakie]

Hi all

 

Whilst I have praised British gas ,

I am not happy wit there repairs etc department.

I am a tennant and my Boiler has broken down,

My Land lady has not had any joy, sorting this out for the last week.

I spoke to BG and found out that even thou I live 30 minutes from the M25 she would have to pay their London prices.

 

I wish some one could explain why the London prices ????

Hi leakie,

Hi Martin

 

I am A heating engineer myself but not Gas safe registered,

 

One of the PCB's have gone either the Control or user PCB, it is on a Ideal Icos

it has the Black control pcb .

I have trace the fault to the boiler where there is power on the live and switched live,

but no display on the fascia display.

 

I work on Oil boilers mainly

Not just the pcb fuse is it?

This may be of use if you dont already have it

Thanks again Martin

 

I had thought of that ,

I did replace a fuse in the wiring centre,

but as I say not gas safe registered

Many years ago I was with Corgi before it was compulsory.

Plus I am a tenant, so have to be careful.

As long as you are not touching any gas moving parts i dont see how you would be contravening any regs, its a 3.15a "fast blow" fuse yr checking.

 

Only other thing i can see which may be worth looking at is the ribbon connector between the 2 pcb's.

 

If you have a multimeter you can check outbound voltage from pcb, if the fuse is ok but no voltage at the fan for example then safe to say the pcb is at fault
