BAXI 105e Headaches

[Ripple1974]

Hi all, hope you can help before i rip all my hair out.

i am not a Corgi plumber and as such i dont really know a great deal

I have a baxi 105e which indicates the flame/flue fault.

My plumber has replaced the fan and the pressure switch with no joy. I replced the pcb with the newer model (5112380) and am still getting no joy. I have reset it numerous times.

The fan spins up when you power it up and after about 20 seconds the error light comes on with no flame produced.

Checked the venture pipes are clear too and there doesnt seem to be any blockages there either

please give me some clue as to what i can do, if i need to check anything with a multimeter or clean anything, let me know

When you say the venturi has been checked and is clear, how was this done?

Was it removed from the fan turret and inspected?

These have a habit of melting.

i have just removed and checked, it seems ok. No melting or any other damage apparant other than a little discolouration and its still doing the same

Basic stuff is there a spark ? is there gas present ?

 

[Ripple1974]

i would assume so, the engineer should have checked for that sort of thing. Is it an easy thing i can do? I know there is gas to the cooker

 

[Baxmax]

If you look through the veiwing window you should see a spark,if there is a spark followed by gas you should have lift off,if there is no gas going through your gas valve you wont have ignition

 

[Ripple1974]

i think they may be some sort of failsafe kicking in before it get to that point... dont see no spark

 

[gas4you]

Has the venturi been previously removed by the RGI and put back in upside down?

 

[Ripple1974]

i dont think he removed it, i put it back in the same way i took it out

looks like this, and is that way up

This is all corgi teritory so no advice from me but there are some very basic checks that have not been made (or it appears has the plumber). Is he registered?
