Hate worcesters

[Riley]

Guys I have a green star Junior 24i HE

Open tap boiler fires for 10 to 15 seconds then cuts out, tries to relight several times but will not.

Really have very little experience with Worcesters I was leaning towards flame detection probe but I don't know if I'm completely barking up the wrong tree with this one just wanted to go armed with a little information

Heating is absolutely fine

 

[Riley]

Ugh and now I've realised it can't be if the heating works

 

[Riley]

Sorry long day

Hay Riley me and my mate are booked on the Worcester training course on the 13th September if you want to tag along and share a ride mate? Its £25 if you fancy it mate

 

[Riley]

Where's it to mate

 

[Riley]

Not sure my customer will wait that long though mate

 

[PriestyUK]

I know that doesn't help but could help in the long run I want to start going down the line of being affiliated to one manufacturer

[Riley]

Mate I'm doing quite a bit up in the Surrey neck of the woods at the mo so I may be up here anyway. I'd definitely be keen though yes. I mostly fit Vaillants but am coming across more and more busted worcesters so I need to understand how to fix wm

Depends what is it doing fires ok with heating and runs good ?

 

[Riley]

I did think flow switch but couldn't understand why it would initial fire up

 

[Riley]

Customer sent me a vid of what it's doing but I can't really see much unisual

Could be sensing flow and then no flow etc

Post it up

 

[PriestyUK]

Is she fit?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Is she fit?

Well she's only 24

 

[Riley]

Won't let me. Trying to do it all on phone but it's having none of it

 

[mfgs]

Sure its trying to re-light and its not the pump pulsing? It does that when it overheats from a blockage in the plate.

 

[Riley]

Well from the video of it she sent me it never actually locks out so that could well be reasonable

 

[Spanish]

Riley, (knowing that you have said that the heat side is ok) I am still going to go with...low gas pressure as the sequence you describe is about right, burner fails and tries again (5 times?) saying that flame rectification is almost the same or just ignore this as I am only trying to bump my posts up!

 

[mfgs]

The pump pulses like every 10 seconds or something. Ignition failure would lock out after 3-5 attempts and would need resetting. Tell her to leave the heating off until the flow and return go cold. Then run the hot water and see if its dumping down the flow. If it is then its nearly always the plate. Diverter motor would also be worth a check though.

No lock out? I think you have a blocked plate. I had this last week. I replaced the plate and it runs on hot water like a dream
