firebird popular 115

[ringy1]

Ive just after servicing a firebird popular 115 boiler with riello burner, upon servicing the customer told me that sometimes she has to press the high limit stat reset button to fire the boiler bout 70 percent of the time it works fine no bother and the other 30 percent she has to press the reset button, so i told her boiler stat is just faulty and plays up when it wants to, so i replaced the boiler stat high limit stat. So i now hopes this solves her problem. Do ye think i was right to replace boiler stat or could it be another problem?

You'll have to wait and see my friend! if she rings to complain the boiler is still tripping....... then NO, if however you hear nothing......then YES.

Fun this game innit!

Are you just changing parts cause you guess that's what's wrong??!!

Surely, you could easily check both stats with hot water & a digi stat??

Of course it could be faulty circulation in the system or a blocked flow/return pipe!!

Are you a CC/CCC son?

How do you test a stat.
I heard you put the end in boiler water and test electrical continuity with a tester?
If you still have continuity then its obviously not breaking no heat rise.
Although it might trip on a very low temperature?
