Were getting an E1 errors on this boiler. No drop in pressure though still at 2 bars? Generally if i reset the boiler it seems to start working, but then itll go again a day or so later
@northwestgascertificates15 күн бұрын
Check the pressure guage needle isn't stuck on 2 bar. Does it go up when the heating is put on. The pressure sensor inside the boiler maybe at fault as it is this that will generate the E1 code if the pressure is to low not the actual dial on the front of the boiler...

@northwestgascertificates18 күн бұрын
If the pressure ever goes over 3 bar, the pressure relief valve opens up and then often needs replacing. You don't want that. If the pressure starts cold at 2 bar, when the radiators start to heat up, the water in them expands and the pressure will always go up and there is a chance it could reach 3 bar...

Using Coke or Irn Bru is great for cleaning the HX, but you do need to flush it with water after, a good flush!! The Vokera Easiheat is a great wee budget boiler👍👍👍 We look after about 150 here in the West of Scotland. They do need a ‘strip down’ service every couple of years. You also must clean the Condy Trap & Check the Co2, adjust as required. Wee Tip; When don’t your Hi & Lo tests on these. Run the HW & remove the Diverter Valve Actuator. The boiler will remain fired up even on the smallest systems.👍👍👍
