🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 After watching this video I'm thinking twice, no three times about cleaning the burner on the two boilers. It will ruin my day. I like my life. I'm so grateful that you made this video because I was thinking is it just me of does this look like a pig. Nice one, big up.
I used to be scared of these boilers but went on the worcester course and helped alot 😊
Good stuff mate
Again !!! Thank you very much for sharing your videos, they are very helpful especially for new qualified gas engineers like me..
Nice one mate 👍🏾
Excellent video i always put cling film over the pcb area
Good idea 👌🏾
Very helpful video on an awkward boiler thanks for posting
Nice one
Great video, doing my first compact tomorrow, will be going in confident now 👍
Good luck mate!
Wicked video mate, this is the most awkward boiler, I defo needed this 👍
Nice one mate glad it helped!
I've done full strip down service on this yesterday, pulled cables out of the fan plug as it was so seized up, ended up digging plug out, put the cables back in then socket.. Turned out other way around, E214 fault, it's a 240V supply so I was happy to see that only fan broke ;)
Nice one 👍🏾
Good to see you in Belfast last week 👍🏻
Nice one mate 👍🏽
PB never seems to upload anymore. Great video mate!
Thanks mate! Yeah he's been a busy lad!
great content keep them going
Thank you mate
Superb video. Very helpful 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Thanks. Just used this to help me out way though a service :-)
Nice one 👍🏾
Fantastic thank you. You are a lifesaver
Nice one 👍🏾
Thank you bro
Really good video thanks
Cheers 👍🏽
Very informative, thanks
Glad it helps 👍🏾
Superb video 👍
Thanks!
Thanks. A great help.
Nice one 👍🏾
Great video as always. Very thorough which is spot on :) Not stripped a main hex on the compact yet.. only the greenstar junior. These look easier to dissemble than the junior which can be a pain to get the top intake arm back onto the hex. Look forward to your next video :)
To be honest I prefer the greenstar to strip apart. Done so many of them now! Thanks for watching mate 👍🏽
Hi mate another great video I haven’t done a strip down service on a cdi compact you have explained it really well keep it up mate
Nice door to your shed
👍🏾
Superb service! Not much room in there!
Definitely not! Not a fan of them at all!
Watched ur vid today never done a compact hate wb im a ideal man so much eaiser to service thanks for your vid although i wish i coukd charge 250!
Thanks mate glad it helped!
Thanks for the video, helped me out loads. What is the lamp you are using?
Nice one mate - unilite SLR 1000 👍🏾
Help with EA227 what should read regarding ohms in gas valve many thanks great video thanks for that
Can't remember the resistance readings for these gas valves mate, would need a call to Worcester tech
If most have done a few of these compacts, then stripping them down is quite easy and straight forward, contrary to what most seem to think about them. (love the negativity tho "being a Worcester"). I have see other manufacturers where some parts of a service can be awkward too if you are not familiar with them. you don't really need the special tool as you say, most use a similar type singular blade :) "tip" to stop the electrode seal from falling out, pop a dab of grease in the seating before fitting it. the burner can go in any way. (did you clean that bit of debris out the burner? @12:34) the bearing plate is designed to stop the formation of condensation inside the air box due to the warm/cold air scenario. @15:48 the black gas tube is under negative pressure, so a sniffer will not pick up a leak due to the suction. for newbies / trainees watching - the APS (air pressure switch) as mentioned is not actually that, it is a FGBS (flue gas blockage switch) so if the flue outlet becomes restricted / blocked - back pressure will increase and break the switch as it is connected to the flue gas side. the best way to remove the syphon I find, if it is near to discharge, try and wiggle it so it does, then pull the black rubber tube forward from the bottom outlet connection, bend it up so it also forms a seal, and remove the syphon. loved the video tho, very detailed and informative throughout, I'm sure many will learn from your advice and knowledge. keep up the good work.
Bang on mate. Worcester’s are workhorses. Not that hard to work on. Think it’s a fear thing as they look full on but once you know what your doing they’re fine.
Hope to see the system conversion video mate 🙏
Been on it today mate, just need to spend some time editing the footage this weekend hopefully
Great video. I've got a few of these to do this month. How much approx are you charging for the full strip down service. Do you wait until the fan pressure test reading says it needs doing or after a certain time scale?
I charge £250 including the replacement parts. I tend to do a full strip down every 5yrs regardless 👍🏾
Love your videos I am doing my acs what advice would you give me to get through
ACS is open book so just make a bookmark of the key points and sections so you can quickly refer to them. Once you've done it and passed, go and work for a firm (preferably social housing/council) where you'll get a wealth of experience. Have a watch of my "Who Am I" video I posted at the beginning of the year to give an insight into my progress 👍🏽
Can you please make video off how to remove retainer clip and lower expension vessle
I am in no rush to do a FULL SERVICE on these boilers 🤣
Great stuff bro 😎
Thank you 👍🏽
Started in domestic but didn't like it as you mentioned, things are tight. I do commercial and industrial boilers now.
Yeah a few guys I know do commercial and looks good having a plant room to work in. Might try to get in a day with them to film!
Great video as always. I just wondered how you priced for this. I charge £90 for a full strip down sevices and system check. I know the cost of all these seals would add up. I feel if i told the customer its say for instance £180 for all seals and new electrodes etc that they would just go else where. I know online a service is offered at £65 i have no idea how they can actually strip down a bouler and do a good job. So just wondered how you are able to to replace all these parts without scaring the customer away?
Depends on the area you work in as well I guess. I don't always win the jobs but I charge what I feel is right for a proper job and some customers appreciate it and some just want the cheapest. Swings and roundabouts in this game 🥴
Hi. Great video, thanks.
What is your cost for a full service on this boiler including all the new seals ?
Thank you! You'd be looking at £235+VAT including the service kit
@@cputilitysolutionsthat’s ridiculously expensive for a service especially when you’ve replaced many parts not actually needing replaced......not very customer friendly
@@seve276 pay cheap pay twice 👍🏾
Please can you tell me How do you take the front casing off a 28 cdi compact? I got expanding foam stuck behind it whilst working on the joists on the room above boiler. Thanks.
2 screws at the bottom and 2 green clips 👍🏽
The two screws at the bottom take off the control panel cover. The 3 screws behind take off the control panel itself once you have pushed the said green clips behind there is just wires. No other screw etc to open the front casing. At the top of the boiler the two clips seem to be holding in the stainless steel flue casing. I don't think this is a diy job. Got quoted £165 as it's classed as a boiler repair apart from british gas who advised book a next day boiler service and removing of debris will be included fixed price of £99.
Nice job mate. How many cuts did you get, and how many times did you swear. That was a few quid in parts you replaced there, a lot of customers want a service, but don’t want to pay the money to have serviceable parts replaced, as they think it’s under warranty and should be free. Pay the money and you will have a proper job done, not as some people do a poke and go service.
Luckily no cuts but was swearing under my breath as the customer was working from home lol. I always give them a price for the bits I'm definitely going to change but also explain that anything else would be additional depending upon inspection
What's the 227 fault on CDI?
I have got the cdi32 but the heating and hot water knobs don't turn all the way back, is it supposed to be like this?
They should go all the way up and down
@cputilitysolutions 🤔 they don't, is there a way to remove the knobs?just wondering if during installation they were fit incorrectly
Anyone know what changing the plate is like on these? Is it the same as the juniors move the hot pipe and they slide down the back? I know everything about the compact design is shit so idk if it’s too tight or not?
Luckily the plate on the compact is at the front. 1 screw and it slides to the left 👍🏽
@@cputilitysolutions ahhh thanks for the reply, I was expecting it to be a real shit job because it’s on the compact, sounds easier than a vailant though 🤣
I don’t mind stripping these down at all….but I’ve noticed there condense trap blocks easy,
Yup and they spill all over the PCB when trying to remove it
Is is from another one of your videos. I'm sure I've watched this the other day
Same boiler but not the same job, I did a quick intro to it as part of my Day In The Life vid, but had this one from a different job where I had intended to do a dedicated video on doing a full service on it
@@cputilitysolutions well you didn't learn from your mistakes on them electrodes lol. Keep up the good work and keep these video coming
@@Zaine22 ah mate the electrodes on EVERY Worcester are a headache to remove, considering most boilers only require 2 screws and they pop out. It's no wonder Worcesters never get serviced properly
I have cdi compact give me fault code 227, do u have idea what that?
Ignition fault
So. Explain to me. How when I’ve had boilers serviced by council contractors engineers. They are in and out in ten minutes.
Think that's pretty self explanatory that it hasn't been serviced 😂 a proper tightness test procedure alone from start to finish would take 4mins, gas rate would take 2mins so you've 4mins left to do the rest 🤦🏾♂️
@@cputilitysolutions you don’t actually have to do a test on the whole gas ,you can isolate at boiler test boiler alone and then you have only opened the test nipple on gas valve. They spray it. Been told this by a few engineers. But from what I’ve witnessed putting an analyser in for two minutes then going is about all some do. And iv3 seen it done
@@peterreid4567 true but I always prefer to do a tightness test on the whole system to be safe there's no gas leak on the system
@@cputilitysolutions yes me too. Thanks for the reply
Would you only do a full strip down on this boiler if it failed the fan test??
Yes and no, I advise a full service after 5yrs anyway so customer can decide
Bro what would you do for a service for one of these only 1 year old?
@@t.g6301 drain boiler, recharge vessel, clean condense trap, visual inspection, check seals, sweep test around combustion seals, 26.9 checks 👍🏾
@@cputilitysolutions thank you bro, keep up the good work and great videos.
What a bloody performance. Would be quicker to fit a new boiler 😮
Yeah they're not very engineer-friendly boilers to work on, and the service parts aren't cheap either!
🤣
Can u send over link for that magnetic light
Unilite SLR 1000 👍🏽
How do u check the seals not leaking?
Analyser sweep check or with an inspection mirror to see if it steams up
still cant find a video showing how to take the cover off😭
I don't think there is one
im going to do one now that ive worked out how to do it
👍🏾
@@cputilitysolutions video is done -worchester greenstar 24i front cover removal and expantion tank location
@@robertedwards87 nice 👍🏾
Can I have service parts list for
this boiler and what rough time to make full service?
Thanks
Please check the video and description for parts list 👍🏽
@@cputilitysolutions how long takes, roughly to do full strip service
@@jerzyszczachor724 depends on the individual, but give yourself a couple of hours
@@cputilitysolutions yes, that's what I was thinking
hello Men gut vork , İm working buderus
One of the worst boilers to service or repair...I don't fit them.
Me neither
Not a big fan of Worcester boilers myself,too tight ,too much hassle to get to parts.Other manufacturers found ways of doing things simpler,engineer friendly
Yup agree totally mate
Great video. Horrible, horrible boiler
Thanks mate
Not a boiler I would recommend.
Same here!
This is why most engineer just clean a trap a take FGAs for a service. What an unnecessary design
Agreed!
I hate Worcester boilers cannot stand them.
I don't mind them so much, good earners!
Worcester these days are pretty crap… sold off the name (because they didn’t have a low pressure switch)
👍🏽
I hate these boilers. They are so fiddly to work on.
Yeah defo up there on my list of boilers I hate!
@@cputilitysolutions have you ever took the plate off on one of these? ..... Got to do one next week and not looking forward to it
@@lefthandedscrewdriver3954 the plate thankfully is dead easy, it's at the front! 1 screw on the left holding it in and then it slides to the left out from behind the pump
How do you get the case off without breaking green levers terrrible design
Just be gentle lol
I keep spares now
