15 Replacement of Parts

15.1 General

IMPORTANT:

The replacement of parts described in sections

15.5 to 15.9 and section 15.12 will require the removal of the

burner module assembly and the replacement of the burner

door seal and self locking nuts.
Replacement parts that have associated components that

need replacing on removal, i.e. ‘O’ ring, seals, gasket, etc.,

will be supplied and should be fitted.
Replacement of parts must be carried out by a

competent

person approved at the time by the Health and Safety

Executive.
Before replacing any parts the boiler should be isolated from

the mains electric supply and the gas should be turned off

at the gas service isolation valve on the boiler, see diagram

12.2.
Unless stated otherwise parts are replaced in the reverse

order to removal.
After replacing any parts always test for gas soundness and if

necessary carry out functional test of the controls.
For replacement of parts the front casing and the inner casing

panel of the boiler will need to be removed. To remove undo

the two screws on the underside of the front casing and lift off.

Undo the two screws on the front of the inner front panel and

lift off.
If the appliance site situation has sufficient side clearances

the side panels can be hinged sideways and removed to aid

replacement of parts.
To remove a side panel undo the three screws securing each

side panel to the boiler, two at the front and one at the top.

Draining of Boiler Heating Circuit

Drain down the Heating Circuit of the boiler only, by closing

the heating flow and return isolating valves, see diagram 8.1.
Attach a length of hose to the drain point and open the drain

valve, see diagram 8.1.
After replacing part, close the drain valve and remove the

hose. Open the heating flow and return isolating valves and

refill, vent and pressurise the heating circuit, see section 12.6.
Check for leaks.

Draining of Boiler Hot Water Circuit

Drain the Domestic Hot Water circuit by closing the cold-water

isolation valve on the wall mounting jig.
Open one or more hot water taps to drain the hot water circuit.
After replacing part open the cold-water isolation valve and

slowly open a hot water tap to remove air. Close the hot water

tap and check for any leaks.
