A day in the life of a gas engineer #27 

Another brilliant video thanks again

I believe the promax condensate trap wires are connected to earth/boiler chassis and the other connected to the ignition electrode. So I’m guessing when the traps let water out the top, the 2 connector tabs short together and the boiler won’t spark because the electrode is now shorted to earth. I think that’s the way anyways 😂

Condensate trap issue is caused by the earth shorting out due to water collecting in the bit with the connectors. If you look there’s a small hole into the trap it’s self. When the trap get blocked or isn’t running quick enough water comes up through the hole then causes the earth to short. It’s a very basic but effective little way for the boiler to cut out should the condensate get blocked

bought loads of manometers before I found the regis ,expensive but well worth it

Great vid as always Chris...you made me laugh when your promax nemesis keeps popping up.. Love your thought process .. Keep up the good work brother👍🏾

On those baxi condense traps, if any moisture gets on the tabs to the earth wire it will cause it to stop. As the tabs start to rust and corrode

There’s a e4/e5 service kit you can get the heat ex seals normally need changing as well

Nice one Chris loving your videos 👍

Love your videos mate ,, keep em coming coz they are very helpful 👍👍

The earth wire on the condense trap work by shorting out if it gets blocked and and condense overflows.

Are them ideal diverter motors, not the same as the Worcesters

I had one today (Potterton Promax) and really was unsure! Will this issue interrupt flame rectification? Boiler was firing but continuously sparking and then after 5 attempts went to lock out. I was thinking PCB but could it be condensate trap?
