Vokiera excel combi boiler keeps going off, red light comes on?

Posted by marian delaney, on
Vokiera excel combi boiler started playing up, heating comes on but then sometimes a red light comes on a while later and heating goes off, sometimes it will fire up again a few minites later when red light goes off and green light comes back on. this can also happen if heating is on and I turn a hot tap on it causes the boiler to go off, red light comes on. hope someone can advise/help, thank you

Sounds like its a lock out problem with it being the red light. This is the boiler just going into a general breakdown mode, it could be a number of things low burner pressure , over heating, pump proving diaphragm, aps dropping out. The list goes on but the red light means lock out and I would suggest a gas save engineer takes a look. He would probably charge you a diagnosis fee as the a good number of things for him to check, cheers tony @ sml gas ltd.
