Hi folks,
Could do with some advice about our 15 year old Worcester 9.24 Electronic combi.
For several months now, we've been losing pressure (as indicated by the dial on the front). Usually it drops overnight or during the day when the boiler is not in use.
We've been topping it up using the filling loop, but clearly there must be something wrong.
I ran the heating with the front cover off yesterday, and I noticed that after a few minutes of operation, water droplets start to seep out from around the pressure vessel seam (just above the giant jubilee clip that holds the vessel in place).
I've also noticed that when the boiler is running, the pressure does increase dramatically from 1.5 bar to close to 3 bar (sometimes over). At this stage water starts to drip out of the pressure relief pipe outside.
I've tried re-pressurizing the vessel with a footpump as per instructions found elsewhere on this forum, but the problem remains the same.
I'm pretty adept at most things, so if I had the right info, I'm pretty sure I can sort this one out.
Any help gratefully received !
Thanks,
Marcus
