lockout

TLDR OK, this is not so dozy a question - and the background is below for people who want to know why I am asking this, but bottom line: What is the technical reason for anti-cycling lockouts? Does constant firing use too much gas, wear something out - what? Put it another way: If there was...

Hello I am hoping someone can help. We are having issues with our boiler. When we are just using the boiler for hot water there are no lockout issues at all. However, when the heating is in use it the boiler will lockout around 30-60 minutes after the heating has come on (it can sometimes...

Hey guys, I have an old Worcester 24cdi boiler. It's basically an antique, and I'm currently saving to replace it, but for the most part I must say its served us well. Sunday morning we woke up to a freezing cold flat, I open the boiler cupboard and its flashing on lockout. I reset it and it...

Hi experts. Well my old heatslave 20-25 has been running fine for ages. I thought how well it was doing just last week but it must have been reading my mind as this week it's decided to present me with some behaviour that I have not come across before. Turn the heating or hot water on and...

Hello :) what fun I’ve had tonight. I have an elderly boiler as above but it’s been visited a few times and has lots of shiny bits on, just like Triggers broom. The lock out switch came on (not seen since last winter) so I took the main cover off and then the lock out switch cover and performed...

Hello, I have a Worcester Heatslave 12/14 combi oil boiler which will not run. We ran out of oil back in April this year and due to the hot weather and finances have only just got round to getting the tank filled. On first starting the boiler it goes into lockout, to be expected with no oil...

Hi All, Wondered if anyone had some insight into an issue I have with our boiler, it's a Ecoflam Thermecon Minor 1 40/60 I have no idea how old it is but given the rust in the housing I'm guessing it's must be quite old. About a month ago we ran low on fuel and at that time decided to replace...

Hi everyone. Last week I ran out of oil and I noticed the lockout light is on on the boiler. Ordered new oil which came 3 days later,but in the meantime I have turned off the boiler and the water pressure went down to 0. So, I tried to restart the boiler but no luck.After reading some advice on...

We have a Worcester Bosch Danesmoor 20/25 oil boiler that's quite old but has been OK for the 6 years we have lived here. It has on occasion gone into idle mode which I have sorted by pressing the solenoid. However when I tried to turn on the heating a few weeks ago it just locked out after a...

HELP!! I have a Trainco Eurostar WM 50/70 boiler. That fires up ok, then locks out after about 10 - 15 mins. I thought a service was due so I: Replaced the burner jet Replaced the photo -cell Cleaned the baffles Checked the electrode positions But it still locks out after 10- 15...

Hi Team, I wonder if someone may be able to help with the following issue. The Thermecon boiler is approximately 15 years and in the main performs well. Last year we had a problem with the spark generation to fire the burner. On inspection the HT leads seem to be arcing and the spark wasn't...
