went to a rayburn 460 kb today, installed 2009 only serviced once since then (apart fm today). Took 3 hours to break out baffles, replaced photocell, electrodes, over heat stat on boiler that kept tripping.
Only at the end of the afternoon did I wonder why the boiler side ran was running without being turned on at range programmer on front of rayburn? Looked in cyl cupboard and hey presto another programmer operating the s plan on the system, but even with everything turned off the pump continued running, until I turned off the switched spur next to it!!!!!!!!!!!!. So 2 programmers and the pump on its own switch aaaaaaaaaaaghh, I informed the owner they might need to call back their plumber/sparky to set up a working system on one programmer. I left the rayburn workng fine on its programmer,bugger knows if it heated water or rads as designed, waiting for a call now
Could be that the programmer on the boiler is bust and disconnected and someone has fitted a regular programmer to save having to purchase a rip-off Rayburn programmer and not done it properly. Have seen that before.
programmer on boiler and one in cupboard installed at same time according to owner! rayburn programmer costs £70 last time I got one so no different to Honeywell prices, and that was direct fm AGA
If it's like ours, its worse than that , as has a single timer for HW and heating, And works on a y plan with HW priority... Hence I run the Rayburn programmer on constant and have a honeywell htg/hw controller to give me different times on the two...
2nd 'zone' on the built in rayburn (rebadged honeywell) prgrammer is used for the cooker side..
it was only an s plan for hw/heating so being as they were simple folk I'd have left it on the rayburn programmer and used the cyl/rm stats to control when everything warm, then if they only want hw in summer hit the button on the rayburn. Just got a call now, overheat stat popped today again! so its probably the pump on its way out as it has been running now continually for 4-5 years or if not the boiler stat on the rayburn. ****er is its a v long drive there n back!!
Hi, Can anyone advise as to why the cold water to my bathroom keeps airlocking?
This originally happened about 12 months ago and has happened 3-4 times since.
It’s an upstairs bathroom, fed from a tank in the attic. The tank is about 8 Meters away and feeds a bath, sink and toilet. The tank...
We run a community village hall and have a large kitchen provided for the use of hirers. This includes a Lincat SLR9 gas cooker which I believe is a 23.8Kw appliance with all six burners and oven on max. This was installed some 10 years ago and has passed all subsequent Gas Safety inspections as...
