Your brave stripping that down lol everytime I even look at these something breaks!. Last one I did I replaced an external expansion vessel. Then fan went, then prv started leaking. Then pump jammed. Then got failure to ignite due to ignition leads cracked... nightmare!

I used to find an empty toilet duck bottle or bleach bottle ,the one with the shaped neck worked great filled with water to clean the heat exchanger ,easy to direct the water as well and keep it away from the electrics . We had quite a few of this series and without doubt they were the worst boiler made by Ideal and probably every other manufacturer..We were replacing them after five years because they were uneconomic to repair.I would avoid them like the plague.Mine always got a complete stripdown but just absolute crap.Glad I am now retired.

You’ve got to be safe with gas…..but kudus to you for your attitude.

Great Job

Loving you video,s My Boiler is making a kettle noise and then locking out, is this a blocked return pipe to the Boiler as the boiler is overheating? It has had a new pump and 3 why zone valve?

@bluebulldog_uk

Sounds like a blockage or maybe a weak pump

Good spot on the different size screws. I don't understand why manufactures don't make all screws the same length. It's like Worcester that give you longer screws on their vertical flue adaptors wtf 🤔

Regarding the gas rate are you sure it's not just modulated down. Also check that the black tabs have been put in the PCB in the correct place as that can affect the gas rate as the boiler will think it's a higher/lower kw

The other issue is the logic burner seal is garbage and still leaks combustion after a new one due to the seal being flimsy paper

That boiler is dreadful to work on. One problem to another. The last one i work ended up with LF fault code. The has not been service for 7 years and spilling CO through sump cover. Then, i replaced the sump cover with new, decided to give it full stripes down service. Put everything back in reverse order. Boiler started showonh LF fault. New ignition lead ,new electrode. No joy

Ideal isar and icos were shite when they came out and time isn’t kind, the problem is there’s loads out there due to bulk buys that house builders got special deals for, I condemn as much of them as I can.

It there a reason you don’t use a cordless?
