Help with Baxi Solo

[telectrix]

hi, problem with baxi solo boiler. lockout lit. burner led and mains led flashing. the legend on the flap says this indicates no water flow. was working fine till i had to turn off the hot water at the hot water tank to fix a blown joint . now it's locked out. pressing the reset just leaves the mains led on it won't fire up and after a few mins goes back to lockout

Anychance of an air lock?

 

[liam b]

bleed the pump in the boiler at a guess

worth a go

 

[accordfire]

Sounds like air lock......

Or a blockage - sure the joint you did is clean and hasn't restricted flow?

 

[ringer]

Is this a condensing boiler? If so, did the condenser outlet freeze while you were working on it? That would cause the symptoms you describe.

 

[telectrix]

no to both last posts i,m afraid. trhe bust pipe was a redundant feed from the hot under the sink to the old washing machine . i just capped it with the old valve. water flows through all taps. the condensate froze 3 weeks ago and was disconnected and a bucket put under the boiler. it's definitely showing " no water flow, but there is water comes out of the drain above the boiler. looked at pump, no drain tap so can't bleed

I would get a plumber in mate

the pump should have a big flat head on the front, turn it to bleed it

 

[telectrix]

it's only been in 12 months. been on phone to eagaheat for over an hour now. all our advisors are busy answering calls". B++++++KS.they are a complete load of merchant bankers. still waiting for them to fix the condensate pipework for 3 weeks. tomorrow going to phone trading standards.

can't see anything like that. will have another look.

 

[telectrix]

nope, nothing like it. pump is in airing cupboard upstairs. boiler in garage.

 

[ringer]

what make/model is the pump, Tel?

 

[telectrix]

Grundfos Alpha2, completely sealed no drain valves or anything like. i'll try a beer. it won't fix the heating, but it will make me feel better

Grundfos Aplha2 is new to me - perhaps I've had a sheltered upbringing Sorry mate, can't help any further. Have another beer.
