Ideal Logic + Combi 30 boiler problems

[ChrissieFizz]

Help please! After having a water meter fitted last week, my Ideal Logic + Combi 30 boiler has stopped working. The heating doesn't matter thankfully but I have no hot water. The SE Water meter man has been back to look at it and said it is nothing to do with the meter. The display on the boiler suggests that the pressure may be too low, but we couldn't find the pressure gauge. Does anyone know about these please? Thanks for reading

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum.

the work on the meter is a separate issue to your boiler problem,
if you said the hot water had stopped flowing then that could be some rubbish in the cold feed to the boiler following the work, but that is not what you are describing?

you will need to look under the boiler, (check in your boiler manual for a picture)
there should be a link between the cold water pipe and central heating return pipe.
the link may be connected, it might need connecting?? there should be a tap at each end, these both need opening and watch the pressure rise to 1 bar then close both taps. boiler should now be working, possible reset needed??

Is it still under warranty?

If it's a logic + installer should have installed the ideal one as supplied with boiler. It's the two valves at the front right. Should be two bits hanging down.

Please excuse his naff install!

Wow! That pressure gauge is really conveniently positioned!!

I'm looking at getting a new boiler and have been googling this model and this post came up. I see the pressue gauge is under the boiler in the pipework (unlike most others where its on the boiler front under a panel). Isn't this a bit of bad design on Ideals part? Cost cutting? It doesn't exactly fill you with confidence in the product. A bit like a car manufacturer putting the fuel guage under the dashboard. Or am I worrying too much?

Worrying too much. Logic+ is a cracking boiler!

 

[Ermintrude]

It's adjacent to the filling loop so when your head is under boiler looking at filling loop you can see it . Ideal logic plus can also display system pressure and to on the LCD and tell you way boiler is doing , the last 10 faults and how many days ago those faults occurred. Don't get that on any other boilers! Not Worcester not valliant not intergas not Baxi not vissesman and not atag.

The LCD wont show you the pressure surely? Thats what the analogue gauge under the boilers for isnt it.

 

[Ermintrude]

No in service mode it will it also shows DHW flow and temp . Temp of ch .

Duo tec. 2 does also pus i/p until screen flashes 05 then just read the number which precedes "bar " this is useful as gauge on duo 2 is at 45d to the floor. But if you only have to top up pressure of a GA range it's a good day

Ideal accredited installer? Doesn't even exist does it?

 

[Ermintrude]

No just go on training course.

 

[Nostrum]

Don't even have to do that!
