Worcester rsf burner insulation burning.......

[lame plumber]

well if smoke is pouring out of the casing, wouldnt you suspect a fluing issue?

Changed the insulation panel in a baxi solo he last week that stank of burning toast as the new insulation cooked off. Analysed ok though.

seen the same on baxi 105s when you swap the cracked insulation panels, only started recently so I suspect they have changed the makeup of the new panels, just leave them to cook a while and the analizer readings settle down,

Does seem the makeup has changed for whatever reason.

I changed one a month or so ago and it was fine so must be fairly recently.

Or a fire. Not taking the ****. It just seems ironic that they get you there to fix/ service it and then you end up explaining away why it smells like it's burning.

Ferroli ones are the same, they go black and smell of burning. Spoke to their tech guys and they said it's normal for new ones as it's burning off a coating they put on them. Leave it run for 15min and they go back to white and readings go back to normal.

Changed vokera mynute pads the other month. It was the first time I'd changed pads.

Old ones were white and new ones turned jet black and that horrible smell.

Thought I done something majorly wrong lol this has cleared it up
