Worcester danesmoor

[benjamin31]

I've been to a danesmoor 15/19, the motor runs but I couldn't hear the fan, it then goes to lockout. I thought the fan was bolted to the end of the motor. Does replacing the fan sound like a good idea?

Also does anyone know where I can get spares from?

Thanks.

you need an oil burner expert, which you aint.

No doubt you wont like the answer but what the hell.

If you were qualified to work on gas or oil boilers you would know where to source your spares.

There's more than just a fan going to cause lockout.
Try an OFTEC registered engineer

I am OFTEC registered. I'm obviously newly qualified as a technician....we all start somewhere.

Cheers for jumping on my back!

Hmmm.... so where do I source spares? I'm aware there's more to an ignition sequence than a fan. The solenoid is ok, photocell is ok too.

 

[stumpydick]

sorry. but how can you fix a burner when you cant find the fan?

 

[Terrywookfit]

You may be Oftec registered, but as to the "Technician" bit I think that you taketh the P$$$.

Have you removed the motor to check that the impellor (fan) has not been stolen by Gremlins?

im OFTEC. reg also, i understand the one week coarse doesnt give you much insight to fault finding .but what the hell did they teach you.or is it one hour these days fast track.

To change the nozzle and flexible oil lines at every service,maybe

sayin that the oil were gettin down here at the moment is shocking, looks like 6 month service at this rate.i know about the change for nox but have you all noticed the difference reacently.

Well you started it

They are cheaper in Next

 

[benjamin31]

I've been to Mary Poppins and Next, but they just gave me a strange look

I've found some good mail order sites for spares, and of course my merchant.

I might just put a new burner on though I'll make more money that way

 

[stumpydick]

why not try reading the burner manual, understanding the principle of operation, and repair it like a grown up would.

Thanks Stone, I was browsing the worcester site last night.

I'm going back to the job to take a more thorough look, and hopefully I can find the fault.

Cheers for the help.
