johnson starley reno he30c e5 fault

[Matty Birch]

Anybody suffered the pleasure of working on these Mates boiler who desperately wants to keep it going ... called out to e5 boiler fired twice for 10 seconds then locked out. E5 in book points to pump and managed to stop propeller with screwdriver so swapped it.

Reset boiler now only getting as far as pump and fan then locking out e5 again, had an e13 once that cleared on a reset.

Suspecting board but wondering if anybodys has similar?

Cheers

From my experience with those boilers E5 is a fan speed issue - which fits with the sequence before lockout that you describe.

The second fault is just lockout after a number of failed restarts.

Most unlikely to be the pcb - I have only ever had one fail and that was a water in thr pcb issue

Hope this helps

strange that, the book points to pump too, just been having a play with it and think your right fan spinning very slow then kicks back in when I spin it manually. No idea why I'm even trying to keep this boiler alive but hey everydays a school day. Thanks for assistance bud

Matty,

That is not the MI’s from the boiler you have cited - HE30C.

It looks to me that the fault list you have is for a Reno Extra that has a version 3 not the 5a PCB that is in the HE30C.

Recheck the download - a number of these boilers have 30 in the title, but they are very different - I think that is where Glowworm got the idea from!!

I would focus on the fan - irrespective of the code displayed. Are you absolutely sure that the condensate is not blocked upstream of the trap?

Yes mate ruled that out on 1st visit hopefully just be the fan now was running slow then went as I was spinning it, now just assuming pump was a coincidence still need swapping anyway mind
