How to get the key out of a Worcester Bosch Combi?
I have a pretty new Worcester Bosch Combi 27Cdi, and the plastic key
used to lock and unlock the link cannot be removed from the unlock position. As it is plastic, and the fitting is plastic, I am reluctant to apply to much force!! At the moment it is left in, just turned to the unlocked position, and I don't suppose it will do any harm that way, but how can it be removed please? |

Will it come out in the lock position? -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored.. Messages sent to it may not be read for several weeks.

Pull down hard, whilst turning it and you should feel it drop into the exit slot. Then it just needs a good pull. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

If it is in the unlocked position just pull it out. There is an O ring seal that will resist but then it should pop out. |

Mine (a WB Greenstar Junior 28) does allow the plastic key to be pulled out. It has two O-rings on the shaft which make it difficult to pull out. (does yours go in the bottom of the boiler, pointing down?) You could do worse than check with WB technical.

Made in 1970 it was ahead of its time and incorporated features taken from the Hoover Keymatic. Inserting the correct key set it to wash socks, underwear or small dogs as well as providing luke warm water to the radiators. The key used for programming was prone to insertion errors and to remove it when stuck you opened the frogseiner, inserted a wollycobler and twisted the grubteir until it clicked. If that failed you wellied it with a Birmingham Screwdriver. On mine you push the key upwards, then half a turn anti clockwise and pull it out. A bit stiff as I recall. |

Mine doesn't have a filling loop internally at all, according to the plumber who put it in. And arranged an external filling loop beside it. With the keyed ones, were you supposed to detach the actual loop (as in the old rules) or did the key obviate this step? -- Roger Hayter |
