DHW sensor fault on boiler display

[nickso]

Now Now, Some combis only use one thermistor on the system side.....

Intec isn't one of them. Not that our resident Darwin Award Winner would know that, though.

No it's not but thats not what you asked him was it.

Doesn't really matter what I ask him, he never knows the answer any way. Bet you he can't explain how the dhw sensor gets gunked up either.

Probably not.

Joe likes to wander around a thread throwing tidbits about but he never answers a question. Let's see if he can google this one.

The guy who fitted it is an amateur. He knows enough to do a combi swap (like 95% of the population), but is mistaking the domestic water thermistor getting gunked up ...

What exactly causes a dhw sensor to get gunked up?

It can't. ....

So if it can't get gunked up, why would it fail due to gunk in the system?
You did say the warranty did not apply because the system was dirty, did you not?

Hello? Hel.... Hello? Joe?


Google must be down again. Damn.

 

[bengasman]

It didn't fail because it was gunked up - that's what they OP thought had happened.

If gunk wasn't the cause, why would the warranty not cover it, which you said was the case.

I thought the Alphas had a super swirling rotary vortex filter to remove dirt from all the heating water?

 

[bengasman]

It would unless he's gunked up the plate heat exchanger.

But the display says the sensor is faulty. Apart from that, the symptoms don't indicate a problem with the plate hex.
In fact, there is nothing whatsoever that makes me think the problems is in any way due to gunk.

Seems like your statement

He's fitted it to a dirty system so the blame is his.

is a load of bol-locks.
As per usual, I might add.

 

[bengasman]

I thought the Alphas had a super swirling rotary vortex filter to remove dirt from all the heating water?

Like I said: I don't see anything that indicates the problem is due to gunk.

 

[bengasman]

Last chance, Joe. Explain to us why the OP's warranty would not cover a faulty sensor that has nothing to do with the plate hex (which is unlikely to be gunked up any way as you have found out by now).

SHAAAAAAAAAAADDDDAAAPPPP

thread is bangin on too much

 

[bengasman]

I never said the problem was gunk. The op was under the impression that the thermistor was gunked up and had done a google but mistook the plate heat exchanger for the thermistor. I never said that gunk was an issue. Why do you think that I did?

He's fitted it to a dirty system so the blame is his.

"He's fitted it to a dirty system so the blame is his" is pretty much clear cut; it says the problem is gunk, and it says the warranty would thus not cover the fault.

 

[bengasman]

...The OP thought that he had got gunk in his system...

No, you said that. The OP thought it was a dirty sensor.

...I realised that he was under the impression that his plate heat exchanger was gunked up...

That is pure conjecture.

... It was HIS information I was answering.

No, you drew the wrong conclusion based on nothing but conjecture and lack of knowledge, and now you are trying to wriggle out of it.


By the way, somebody handed in your gascard.
