Servicing Worcester System Boiler 

Always room for different methods, think it’s imported to just to past info to the next generations… thanks for watching

the bearing plate housing just twists off mate...

Once the boilers are over 5 years old, it wants to book in for an overhaul like this. Don't wait for the gasket to go and melt everything or the baffle to stick. But he will need prior notice to allow more time.👍

No worries, I know it’s long ..🙂cheers for watching

Allow yourself a 3hr time slot just incase, you can strip them down in half hour when things go smoothly.. but sometimes everything bonded in so tightly

Labour would be similar, big difference is the price of the cell, so about £500 more I guess.. but sometimes the baffles come straight out so the jobs a lot easily.

I do, but the Baxi is a great boiler and a solution for an application where a pump overrun is not possible

I know they do the normal tool, but I’ve not seen them doing the puller..mines made by Dr pipe.. which you can buy from the Dr pipe website … free plug there 🙂

Every 5 years, not really a fault in design. They still have the same design now.. Just people are leaving them until they fail the depression reading and this was to long for the gasket lifespan

@@GHancock I'm in a bit of a dilemma, my 12Ri has never been serviced properly because it has always passed the flueway pressure drop test and it's now 18 years old. I thought they were wrong to never brush out the heat exchanger. It had a new fan assembley fairly recently so the red gasket would have been replaced but I'm worried that the baffles will be stuck in there. I wish you covered the South, you do a proper job.

@@Martindyna chances are this baffle will be stuck solid..you need a independent installer who doesn’t have to get around 8 jobs a day.. someone who likes the challenge of getting them out. Buy yourself a pot of Bicarbonate ready to lend them.. failing this start saving for a new boiler with 10 year guarantee. Sorry I don’t travel very far as I never have the need to..most my jobs are in a 5 mile radius 🙂

@@GHancock Thanks for your response & advice.

You’d only have to do this every 5 years…so it’s not to bad to sell..beats them having a new heat exchanger

@@GHancock yes that is correct I normally do it every 4 years

The worst.

They look like a right pain in the arse.

Been asked to service one of these in a loft space. Thinking about jogging it on after watching this

Should clean the trap, and set co2 minimum.. but every 5 years make sure you get a full strip down.. but expect to pay more. If it’s left to long the baffle will not come out or burner gasket will fail.

I do like the cdi better...mind you these boilers seem to keep on going once cleaned out

@@GHancock I think a day at Worcester training would give me more confidence . Ha e you fitted the 800 with diverter ,to change it to priority hot water ? The instructions blow my mind .

@@mgbroadsterJ get yourself down there the courses are good.. I’m there next week. I don’t install anymore the lads have that covered

You get used to them.. glad you like it.

Aways cut mine getting the electrode leads off - the new model is even worse !!!

Mainly the CDI and He that built there reputation, but I have a lot of these ticking over at 16plus years without to much trouble, plus Worcester was the first to make a down loading burner whilst all the others messed around with condensing exchanger added to up existing design, I like Baxi too..but I can pick fault with every manufacturer.. so after service becomes the key as well as good manufacturing. Every Engineer has to push the product he believes in.

I think there is a lot of pressure on there workers to get around a lot of jobs. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
