[QUOTE="kme, post: 140768, member: 113"] I`ve got a Ravenheat CSI24 System condensing boiler; which is about 8 yr old. Over the years, I`ve had a number of problems with it - intermittently. Refusing to acknowledge pilot ignition, stuck air pressure switch, etc. Last Summer, it emptied all its water out onto the floor of the utility. Turned out the Auto bottle vent had given up. This was because the top corner had obviously overheated, causing failure of the air pressure switch (melted badly), and the fanned flue assembly (overheated & seized). These were repaired, and all the seals, overheat sensors, etc checked and found to be ok. We mended the fan wiring, which had melded together within its heat resistant sleeve, and the boiler fired up & worked fine. I come home tonight to find the exact same thing happened this morningheadbang - must have been when it first fired this morning. The pressure switch has melted rather badly, the fan wiring is one gelatinous mess; and the AAV is hardly recognisable. So.....here`s the question. Do I: 1. Flog it for scrap, and buy summat else? 2. Repair it again. If so, how do I stop it repeating this issue again, when it feels like it? 3. Other. I`m out of my depth now - my tame plumber / heating enginer have both scratched their heads, and given up. Ravenheat don`t want to know at all. Advice happily received. Thanks KME [/QUOTE]
