105e instant
Mar 1st, 2008, 2:19pm
 
Iv'e been working on this boiler problem for a while now and could use some help. When dhw tap is opened and then closed again the dhw indicator stays on and boiler will not switch back to CH. Iv'e been on to baxi and they suggested div valve motorised head so I changed that to no avail, it's still the same.Any ideas anyone

Got any dripping taps  Roll Eyes

I would have thought the valve itself was up the spout.

Fortunately I have little to do with the rubbish, this boiler must rank alongside the suprima as the pitts.

I will ask me buddy for an opinion.

And welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the prompt reply and the welcome.
I thought the valve myself but baxitech said otherwise.Think I'll just change the valve itself, unless your buddy has any ideas.
Totaly agree with you on the instant, I've fitted 3 and had various probs with every one. thanks for your help.

Is this an Instant ???

In that case it sounds as if its a failed preheat sensor ( assuming there is one! ) making it think that it is still heating the store!

I think you take the motor off to make it work in CH normal mode for the time being.

It could always be a PCB fault but thats less likely.

It could be to do with the preheat if it's a 105  INSTANT, I don't think the 105e has one.
So which is it!
If the DHW flow switch little red light stays on it'll not switch to CH.


Looks like you need to check the pre-heat then  Grin

The manual says;

3.7 Sensor Fault
1. When the ( ) or ( ) neon is illuminated a
fault on the hot water or central heating
temperature sensor is indicated (Fig. 12). Contact
your Service Engineer.

Looking through the manual you can use a multi meter to check the sensor
