I have a Vokera Linea 28 combi boiler which was fitted in Nov 99 and has never given me a problem until a few weeks ago. One morning I went to use the shower and noticed there was no hot water - heating had been on earlier and shower used earlier too. Checked the boiler and it showed error code 03 - check fan/flue assembly and reset as per code 01. Reset worked and evrything was fine for about 24 hours until error code appeared again. This time it would not reset so I called out British Gas as the central heating is covered under Homecare agreement.
Engineer decided it needed a new fan which was eventually fitted 3 days later. The boiler would not reset with new fan fitted and the engineer then decided that it was the circuit board. He tested the circuit board with his meter and said that no power was getting to the fan. New circuit board was fitted the next day and engineer said that it was definitely the problem as circuit board was black on the back.
The boiler was fine for almost two weeks when it locked out again with same error code. I got British Gas out again who checked it all over but could find nothing specific. I had also told them that in the few days prior to this lockout I had noticed that it was taking longer than normal for hot water to come through. The engineer said that he had increased something to do with the ignition to make sure boiler ignited right away as it was a bit on the low side (not sure what this was) and had also made sure the flue was perfectly clean and unobstructed. That was 10 days ago.
Last night I noticed it had locked out again - same error code of 03. I have reset it and it's working fine at the moment. I have called British Gas out again as obviously the problem is still there.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the problem as I'm not convinced British Gas seem to know.
