terribleturner Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 AGAIN!!!! did the other pump go in?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 AGAIN!!!! did the other pump go in?? Yep. Thats 3 pumps in 48 hours he's been through! I'm running out of them. My guess is the cap on the pots nakered, or the pots warped during the polishing process and not giving a good enough seal round the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Anything in the manual ? http://www.baxi.co.uk/products/literature/Baxi-Solo-3PFL.pdf Is there water pressure? If you've not used it a while that may have gone down - it cuts off if it's not high. Bleed rads, top up water until about 1 bar I think? I read up a lot on our combi boiler for common stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 just scanned through this and I thought you were trying to fix a gas boiler with Supra spare parts. Must concentrate. They are atm Ewen:d The thermo couple is probably fooked and that kicks in a safety feature that will not light the boiler..suana duval one that is:taped: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Unlikely a baxi solo is on a pressurised system. Sounds like its got lack of gas or possibly the pilot injector is blocked. You may need to get a gas engineer out mate. I would come down but its miles!! PS there is no thermocouple on a baxi solo 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 No worries dude Do you know what a thermocouple does just out of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 No worries dude Do you know what a thermocouple does just out of interest? And at certain temp shuts the supply off?? had to replace lots of parts on a boiler in my flat..Bet i'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Not bad, good knowledge but it shuts the supply of gas to the gas valve if the pilot goes out. It sends a signal to the gas valve that the pilot is present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Two dissimilar metals giving a potential difference varying with temp. I'll get me coat:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 nah youre thinking of a boiler stat. good knowledge tho The thermocouple send a signal to the gas valve that the pilot is present Thinking about it now..yeah i'm thinking of the thing that sits on the pipe. and the thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot to let the boiler know the pilot is on. so keep the gas coming.. My bad:blink: for the pilot light that is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
