Hi,

I have a Baxi 80 HE plus which firstly works fine for the hot water system.

However for the central heating several times a week, the Central
heating does not come on as per timer controls. Although the lights on
the timer control light up as expected when the timer is set to swich
the heating on, the boiler does not fire.

However with several goes at switching the timer control on and off e.g.
clicking advance or boost and pressing the reset button on the boiler ,
the Central heating will eventually fire up ( 2 green lights) and stay
on until the timer control switches it off later in the evening.

There are no red fault lights showing on the boiler when it doesn't
fire- in fact when it doesn't fire up there are no green lights either
showing on the boiler.

The pressurised system is just over 1 bar.

Any ideas if this is more likely to be a timing control (Drayton Tempus
7) which I could easily get replaced or a boiler problem ( lots of money)!

Thanks for any help

Chris


You can download a Baxi HE diagnostic chart, it will tell you if red,
green. flashing or no lights has a reason.
I used it to find out one of temp sensor faulty ...

If you can't find it on Baxi ... ping me a PM and I'll email you a copy
.... at least it may tell what is at fault Boiler or timer.

If it were me and it was due to com on and hadn't I check across timer
contacts ... but that depends how you feel about testing such things.
