Worcester 23i boiler really noisy

[Mollie70]

I have had problems with this boiler being noisy(like a tractor) to vibrating then like a tractor, so noisy cant sleep through it and have to turn heating off completely.The fan has been replaced before, this did make it quieter for a short time but its back to its old self again now the frost has started.Can anybody give me any advice? Its infuriatingly loud. Please?
I rent the house and dont know anything about boilers, I just need something to suggest to the landlord to maybe make him get the problem sorted out for me.

I have noticed that some Worcester fans are not as long lived as I would have expected.

The worst case was a boiler just a week old with a very noisy fan with "worn" bearings.

In the interests of fairness I should also state that I have also been to several complaints about "excessive noise" from new boilers.

In about 50% of the cases there was a slightly more noisy fan which I changed. but in the other 50% it was just that the owner decided that he did not like to hear the boiler operating at all.

In the last case about eight weeks ago, the boiler was fitted in the kitchen which was open plan to the large living room. There were little furnishings and the floor was all hard ceramic tiles so there was no sound adsorbence at all.
