[@GeeDee70]

Your videos are so helpful allen... have used them for reference many a time. Its so much easier watching a video of how to do stuff. Opposed to reading from the manufacturers instructions.

[@smellslikethinice1107]

As per usual, and I am not tired yet of saying it....Thank you Allen, and Ideal Boilers.

[@andrewmason143]

As someone who has just qualified and don't have the fault finding experience these videos are brilliant for me 👍if we can get more that would be great thanks

[@jeanstmartin2396]

Thanks for the detailed video. As a plumbing and heating technician these types of videos are very useful. I would love to see one on Viessman detailing how to test all the components.

[@britishstudio1825]

Great video Allen. I love your style, very professional. We want more videos on Ideal. Thank you.

[@darrenclarke161]

Great vid as usual Allen. Love the technical ones .👏👍

[@Danderofox]

This is great video content. I've been a gas engineer for 8yrs and do mainly installing but have never gone down the breakdown route. Now thanks to your videos I can now begin this route. Many thanks!

[@AllenHart999]

Glad it was helpful!

[@user-xf3en5gs2e]

Very nice Allen. Would be perfect to have some kind of collection of videos about most common boiler issues from your own experience and possible testing and solutions for them. Well done mate 👍

[@johnboy1232]

The beauty of this job Allen is you learn in this job from the day you start to the day you retire . When I started it was bymetalic strips and pilot lights now you need to be electronics technician as well .

It's a good idea for ideal to do this as baxi have done it for a while so would be good to know how to diagnose and fix different parts on an ideal boiler. Maybe if ideal use a camera man so the engineer can show us properly

[@timothylindop484]

Hi Allan. Once again great video, i found it interesting that he was looking for an ac voltage coming out off the flow switch? in my limited experience on other types of boilers you normally get 5v dc going into the flow sensor and if the turbine or sensor is working correctly you normally get half the voltage dc out (2.5vdc) is this just the case for ideal boilers or that type of sensor or have I got it completely wrong? Thanks keep up the good work 👍🏻

It’s virtually the same flow sensor as the viessmann 050 model boiler thankfully ideal boilers have switched over to grundfos quality water housings now so we should see no more problems!

[@andythomson5309]

Great video Allen , My logic 24 combi the heating flow pipe gets hot when the hot tap is running would that be the diverter valve or the flow turbine 🤔

[@jeremywithers3879]

Thankyou for this video, replaced a turbine today. My god it was tight to release the turbine from its housing at one point I thought it ain't going to move, but got it out eventually. New one in, water on job done.

Did you diagnose the fault using this video?

[@AllenHart999]

Thanks very much for your comment, please consider subscribing to support the channel 🙂

[@MSKChess]

Yeah more diagnostic vids please!

[@grahamknox9626]

Will the boiler regulate the heat engine depending on a lower/higher voltage/hz signal or is the signal simply an on/off ‘switch’ with heat then regulated by the thermistors in the boiler? Thanks

[@ryantomkinson776]

Thanks 😊

Which heat plate exchanger is easier to access, ideal logic (not vogue) vs Worcester junior greenstar. Thank you.

[@markcliff9923]

Excellent video again Allen, Ideal really have upped their game since the Isar and Icos days, terrible appliances👍

[@AllenHart999]

Very easy to change that as well. The first one I have done.

[@johnboy1232]

The isar and it's brothers and sisters were without doubt the worst boilers of there type .I retired three years after the logic and they were starting to show the same repetitive faults like popping heat exchangers etc.

[@Lutonman2010]

Here’s another tip for guys just starting out on fault finding. This video shows the later composite water set on a Logic. The models before used a brass water set and the Hall effect sensor clips on. This older hall sensor has a small red LED built into it. Each pulse of the magnet rotation causes the led to light. If the turbine is spinning correctly with a decent flow demand, these pulses should made the led seem continuously lit. If you see this led flashing at all whilst the tap is turned on, there’s a very good chance the turbine is sticking. Hope this helps someone one day!

[@Home_made_ch]

Did you mean if led not flashing at all?

[@Lutonman2010]

@@Home_made_ch hi. If the turbine is jammed then the LED will not light at all. If the LED seems to flicker on and off then there’s a good chance the turbine isn’t freely rotating but not completely stuck. If the turbine is ok then the pulses of the LED will be so fast that it will look like it’s continuously lit. 👍🏻

[@Home_made_ch]

@@Lutonman2010 yes, so far i know. I mentiones as in your previos reply is saying if led does, instead of doesn't. But in my case exactly led is flashing regularly and change frequency accordind hot water tap position. But boiler not igniting. However CH is working fine and ignition get on and off in time

[@Lutonman2010]

@@Home_made_ch could be a pcb issue/stat issue if you’ve ruled out the turbine/hall sensor. If you call ideal tech then they can get you to check the voltage on the board from the hall sensor. I can’t remember which terminals you have to check. I think on that model it’s on the DC side.

[@Home_made_ch]

@@Lutonman2010 i found terminals from manual. Do you think possible that pcb doesn't receive signal from hall sensor, if sensor led is flashing?

Got a give 5start to ideal for efforts they put into to support and training they provide to installer

[@leejones6579]

When checking voltage going back to turbine you changed from dc to ac voltage, is this the same for othe makes of boiler. Awesome video 👍

[@kevincranfield5235]

I would say that no, they are would work slightly different and have different voltage readings back to the boiler. But the main principles are the same, you would have to call the technical line and get the info from them.

[@aliones]

is that your workshop? you have a lot of videos with boilers hanging on osb walls.

[@georgiangelov2764]

Hi I have ideal boiler esp1 35. My boiler is 3 years old and I head engineer twice already. First time he come when the boiler was brand new we move into the property and the water was giving. The engineer coming in with new pump. Open the box in the property and he realise this is a wrong pump. He go back to the van and straight away come back with already openbox. Second time the same problem and engineer and you've done exactly open the box in the property and realise this is the wrong pump go out and come back with open box. And this is engineer with 20-years experience. And now I haven't exactly the same problem. I just wanted to find out how many types of water pumps have for this thank you

[@johnburns4017]

Great vid. Two components, a flow turbine and a hall sensor. A but. How do you determine if the turbine or the hall sensor is defective? Obvious once you know. The new to this may do a wrong diagnosis.

[@kevincranfield5235]

If your getting a Hz frequency signal, a stable one, but you are not getting the AC voltage back to the pub then you probably have a bad Hall sensor, Also if you pass a magnet over the Hall sensor back and to quickly it should activate the Boiler, if it does not then it is probably faulty, I wanted to keep it simple and not shove too much info in the vid. There is always more you can do but the basics are all in there.

[@davidb2464]

Hi Allen, are all of these parameters in the MI's accompanying the boiler, or would we be calling their techy's?

[@kevincranfield5235]

I could be wrong because I don’t read the instructions left with the boiler, but I don’t think you get really in-depth readings measurements in them, technical helpline will give you all that you need though,

[@davidb2464]

@@kevincranfield5235 Hi Kevin, that's what I thought, I've got a copy of one of the MI's, and most things are the basics, but also informative. The good thing is, the tech guys on all of these boilers are really helpful, and they give the dogs b's of info most of the time.

Very informative Allen. However, I maybe colour blind or missed something, but the guy from Ideal said Black wire several times, I can’t see a Black wire at the Hall sensor or PCB?!!

Hi guys, I was changing one of these yesterday but the clip was from the bottom not the side of the turbine and I broke the clip and the wires actually came out of it. that's the first time I've ever done this but I'm sure I'm not the first, is this fixable? really not sure where you would get a replacement clip head its never something you think about until it happens. any help would be really appreciated guys thank you

[@kevincranfield5235]

If what your saying is true, you must be talking about a different boiler than an ideal logic, as the clip only goes into the top and i find it hard to believe e that you broke the metal clip, that would take some doing.
