Mr Needs you are a true gent for posting this. I've got a few to service in a few weeks and I was going to read up on the MI's as I've never done a compact service before. This has armed me fully and taken away any doubt. Thank you once again.
Nice one fella, just booked on the worcester combi fault finding course which includes the compact as more of them are coming through now, neg fan pressure been ok to date so no strip down but only a matter of time. i have to say not as bad as i feared after watching this, when you first take the case off it is a daunting site as it realy is COMPACT!!!!. thanks again keep em coming.
Thanks for sharing. They aren't the easiest boiler to access. The last LPG one I did the air/gas valve flappy bit of rubber was shot to bits so I replace that to now.
many thanks pal.i too have a few like this to do and trying to learn from out the manual .its terrible.not enough information.this is very straight forward now ive been shown. thanks
Great video I've also been lucky enough not to do a full strip down on them yet but only a matter of time looks fairly handy compared to greenstar them baffles can be a pig to get out, wondering do you order a service kit for this model and all seals etc in it or all individually great video man fair play 👍
sadly to many engineers putting FGA in and calling that a service for £30... hard to compete offering a proper service as when you say "new burner seals" or the price of a full service.. your just a RIP OFF as the last guy serviced it for £30
Nice video. Actually I've a couple of customers that are due the above works. Never done them before but definitley feel alot more confident. Just spoken to WB. they actually said that gaskets don't normally require replacing?? I'll always go on the side of caution. Excellent video. Now that kebab heat excahnger👌😂
Excellent video Geoff , I would love to find where to get that tool as I've been using some metal banding , not ideal but does the job.... cheers.......👍
I use a mirror or run my hand around the joints as I have previously used a gas sniffer and found they will pick traces of gas around seals on alot of boilers even new ones.
Lee it's a gas sniffer yes, as far as I am aware it detects more than just natural gas. So it can be used to check for leaking fumes in this instance. I believe the one being used in this video is an Anton gas detector.
Dear Santa, Can you fix it for me to be apprentice to Mr G Needs?! I promise to be good as long as possible and eat my greens too. 🤣 Cracking job you do on RUclips sharing your knowledge, I doff my cap in your general direction, your accent ain't that bad either.....

totally agree.why cant it just be like a baxi! striaght forward,why do worcester have to make things hard.they over engineer everything
Thanks for sharing. They aren't the easiest boiler to access. The last LPG one I did the air/gas valve flappy bit of rubber was shot to bits so I replace that to now.
Nice one Geoff
It would be great to see a video of a replacement heat exchanger on a compact as I've got one to replace the week after next 😊
many thanks pal.i too have a few like this to do and trying to learn from out the manual .its terrible.not enough information.this is very straight forward now ive been shown. thanks
Nice video, Many thanks
I would add condense trap cleaning on the end.
Good Job!!
Thanks for taking the time to do this I have one to service next week and have not done a compact yet 👍

Just found your channel. Excellent for me as a trainee 🙏👍
Worcester master as usual... very beneficial
Brilliant video

The fan pressue from the MIs stated 30si, thats a compact with a FP of -4.4

No draining of the boiler required? Great video by the way 👍🏻
If the heat cell gets to blocked can you use bicarbonate like you did on the blocked CDI vid you have done.
Great video Geoffrey
Great video, where can I purchase the heat cell folding cleaning tool, thanks
Do you need to fit the front cover before using the flue gas analyser? Or is that the compartment ?
Long awaited and much appreciated
Where can you get the cleaning tool as I’ve been looking everywhere?
Thanks Geoffrey
Alex Meyer i’ll find out where you can get them
Please do brother :)
WOR7746901479 Plumbase claim to have them available next day, for £54!
Martin Wright As the chap said earlier in the comments that he used banding and so shall I @ £54 a pop for a feeler gauge with an handle.
@@paulrossiter9567did you go fo it?
Great stuff!
Excellent video Geoff , I would love to find where to get that tool as I've been using some metal banding , not ideal but does the job....
cheers.......👍
Where did you get that tool from to clean inside Heat Exchanger
What is the tool called he measures the fan pressure with?
Hi great video. The tool in the end where you are checking for leaks, is that just sniffing for gas? Cheers
Lee Edwards yes it a gas sniffer
I use a mirror or run my hand around the joints as I have previously used a gas sniffer and found they will pick traces of gas around seals on alot of boilers even new ones.

How much for a service on this boiler.
Do you need to replace flue seal or is it just good practice
yes
