It could only happen to us Boiler has shut down E110 I think

<< < (16/23) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Central heating stopped working again - boiler does not fire up.
Engineer booked for the 15th April 2024 - I looked at the motorised valve indicator that was not aligned with the H position so using a lump of metal I tapped the main body of the 3 way valve.
The valve position slowly moved to H so the heat is working for now.
The external valve motor unit was replaced a couple of years ago by the Baxi engineer.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Great start to the day, boiler has stopped working error code E110 condensate system - again.

Orcade-Ian:
Ted,
Is it icy where you are?  Kettle of boiling water poured over the outlet where the condensate comes out might do the trick. Then reset the lockout on the boiler.

Sesman:
Ted, it’s possible the condensate outlet pipe diameter is too small causing icing/ blocking as mentioned by Ian. Or maybe it’s another failed actuator/motor?

We lost all power to the neighbourhood yesterday….failed primary switchgear. Back on this morning fortunately.

The outlet is into our kitchen waste water pipe system, it's a fancy purpose made union that can't freeze. The exit pipes  do not block as apparently it's a very corrosive condensate, the pipe is a quite rigid transulcent one that is supplied for this purpose.

I believe the design of the pump system was flawed in terms of longevity. We had four years of faultless service until we had the house fire. It's failed almost every winter since 2018, I've lost count of the number of pumps and level switches that have been replaced. Last year they replaced even more of the associated parts including the condensate tank itself as well as having a new heat exchanger. No surprise the insurance premium went up from £17.00 to £27.03 pcm.
