About 2 weeks ago I posted a comment about unreliability of Baxi Barcelona
(3 logic boards in 5 years)

After 2 weeks of running OK with latest board ... had a problem occur twice
in last few days anybody help.


Boiler stops working .... removing the front lower cover, shows the
'overheat/lockout' red LED is illuminated.

Turning the boiler 'off' with the thermostat on/off switch .... and then
back on again, puts boiler through a reset and all works again for a few
days.

All works OK ... plenty of output, and DHW and heating worked fine for
several days, then it happened again.


In fault condition ... Main LED is ON, and not flashing.
Lock out LED is on and not flashing
From manual this suggest 'Ignition Lockout' has occurred.

As it 'resets' and then works OK, is this likely to be another fault logic
board ?

It could just be an intermittent ignition problem. Also note that the poor
ignition lead on this model does three things. Ignite, flame sense,
condensate blockage.The latter feature seems to have been taken away on
some models.
