Broken switch on Vokera Linea 28 Combi Boiler.

[Halito]

I have a Vokera Linea 28 combi boiler.

The switch is broken, the light stays on whether Hot Water Only, Off/reset or Central Heating+Hot Water.

It was working before the summer warm spell, when we switched it to Hot Water only. We recently put back to Hot Water and Central Heating, but only the Hot water was working. After checking through this site, and then re-checked the unit. I've come the conclusion that the switch is smurfed .

Any Ideas on how to repair this.

I think this problem might have been covered recently. Do a search on your boiler model and the word "switch" and you should find it.

You buy a new one from hrpc (part of same group plumb centre is in) or someone like that, only a couple of quid.

You have to take the main pcb off and the little one behind it if I remember right. The shaft passes through the little front pcb on it's way to the main pcb (But I have a crap memory this might be bul1shit)

There is something a little tricky about taking pcb's off and replacing, lots of leeds, some of th eones on a linea towards front left can be put on wrong way round, also it's possible to but the edge connectors for power on arseaboutface which results in the board ground becoming live, the job should really be done by someone corgi registered. You could ask locally how much to change the switch.

Shame it didn't stick in the heating and hot water mode.

Still I suppose you are one of the lucky ones at this time of year, at least you are getting hot water out of your combi.

Thanks, Found the article after a bit of digging. Manage to remove the broken shaft and find my way around the back-frontward pcbs, just need to get the correct part from HRPC (London SW18) I assume?

Thanks again for your help.

Parts Centre now innit

Phone them before popping in to make sure they have the part, or they can order it in for you.

Ordered the part (better design than the original) from HRPC, which they delivered for under 3GBPs inclusive of P&P, fitted and everything now working perfectly.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks.
