ferolli modena boiler issue

[liam2514]

Anyone help please!!!

before i call an engineer!!!

Basically I've got a Ferroli Modena and it won't fire up properly. If I use the reset switch the boiler will fire up for about 10 seconds and then cut out however the boiler shutdown light DOES NOT come on. Throughout the day the boiler may then keep firing up and goes straight off.

There is no flashing lights indicating an issue so i dont know what to do!!!

Hi Liam

Sounds like you have a problem with the venturi and/or the test point in the fan, this is common with modena's.
Neither of these parts are more than a few quid to buy but MUST be fitted by a corgi registered engineer because you have to remove the combustion cover to access the fan.

Hi mate,

Thnaks for the reply, but I aint got a clue about anything like this, so can I order it myself? or best let them do it?

Leave it to a competent engineer mate. Its not that big a job, but needs to be done correctly.

I have just been told the venturi/ the test point in the fan has been checked and isnt faulty,

so any other ideas what it could be?

There are 2 'caps' on top of the boiler, 1 either side of the flue. Pull 1 of these out and see if the boiler fire's
