Good that the recall wasn't from your previous work. Only trouble is getting the customer to believe it. Thanks for your vids, best diagnostic ones out there. Always an education.
well diagnosed, always a nice feeling when you get back to the job and it’s something totally separate to what you done when you were there. Times iv gone back to a job thinking what I have I done here then ? Then it’s something else more often than not.
HeatingGeek I had one not long ago on a ecomax pro 18, turned power off dropped the board out. Hate turning them off. Came back on and checked operation before leaving. Customer phoned me back next day saying no heat or hot water absolutely hate them boilers and refilling and venting is an absolute pain !
Thats a Glowworm Hxi with worse electrics. The connectors need wiggling a lot to clear weird issues. I missed one of you comments and I can find it now. I don't get how this stuff works sometimes. Give me a boiler any day of the week!!
HeatingGeek Lol I agree ! I’m useless with technology don’t use Facebook either #confused.com think I’d lob my phone by the time worked out how to use it . I’m only in my 20s lol must be me ? god knows but I’d rather watch your videos ! Today I replaced a main heat exchanger on a 15ri far from easy return pipe was absolutely wedged in underneath never found them that bad before oh and sump was different on the new cell so the condense trap wouldn’t fit I was livid ! If I done videos I’d need a swear jug 😂
Supposing this stat was an obsolete part would you have fitted a pipe stat to the flow directly above the boiler and wired it to run the pump at all times the water was above a set temp or would you have had to get the original stat repaired if it’s possible? Or even a new boiler?
Loving your videos. Always a pleasure to watch them. Recalls will always happen but ,it's really annoying when it's a completely different fault to the one you have sorted. Are you ex BG ?.
What are they?? Explain the difference if you could. The probes I use are Fluke and fused as far as I know. Thanks for your input. I do appreciate expert advise. ;-)
Thanks for making these very well produced and informative videos, great for those of use on the learning curve. I learn something every time I watch 👍👍👍👍
Good. Thats why I do it. I would love to know about other peoples little tips and tricks. Hopefully part 3 will be done today and up tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for commenting :-)
I can't remember this video if I'm honest. The ultimate had 2 ways to control the pump. 1 was the boiler/pump overrun stat. The other was the PCB depending on what model year it was. I'm annoyed that I can't remember this job...
That was an interesting diagnosis Ollie. Experience shining through n through❤
Thanks :-)

Thanks. I got the next one uploading now.
Excellent diagnosis.
Thanks :-) Got some really difficult stuff coming up.
Never knew about the two Fuse micron's " the knowledge is so much appreciated, 👍
Its the ultimate here. The bigger microns were rebadged ultimates but I think they all had 2 fuses. Its been a while...
Excellent video
Big thankyou for these videos mate really well explained and u show everything very clearly
Thanks. I feel like I drone on and on sometimes. Im trying to edit less so its straight forward for me to up load and shows more.

Thats very true. This is my first recall in a very long time and i'm glad it was something different.

I would get the other newer (2 wire) version of the stat with the 2 fuse PCB and convert the boiler to the later version.
yep had this problem..good vid

I worked for BG as a contractor for a little while. Why do you ask. What gives it away?
Good vid again mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks :-)
Get some GS38 compliant probes!
What are they?? Explain the difference if you could.
The probes I use are Fluke and fused as far as I know.
Thanks for your input. I do appreciate expert advise. ;-)

If the pump constantly runs without the boiler firing I’d say boiler stat

Easy when you know how lol
All it takes is time and practice. I see your getting a few videos done now. Good on you :-)
