I owe you a pint mate, I replaced the fan also the wee hoses, cleaned it up. These boilers are amazing, hope it will go another 30 years. I once had a new generation shiny boiler previous home, what a diva, every few months required some massaging
Hi stevie I am not very familiar with none condensing boilers specifically heat only ones your video has given me a lot of confidence keep it up mate really appreciate it mate
Hello, thank you for this video. You've just saved me quite a bit of money. Very informative and easy to follow. I've changed the fan and now the boiler works again. Absolute kudos to you for doing it one handed.. It took me a little longer to do with two 😆 I've just subscribed as well.. Thanks again, very much appreciated 👍
Hi stevie, just watched your video today mate, absolutely brilliant! You're a legend, your time and effort is appreciated . I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more content on boiler repairs. these are gold dust! Doing it in situ and real was perfect. Very well Explained and shown. Will be watching all your others videos too now. Please do upload more boiler repairs thanks for sharing your knowledge. All the best 👍👌
cheers mate , top video ! not sure if I feel "safe" doing this on my own, but also I wouldn't see what a certified gas engineer would do any different here. Maybe buy a gas/co detector to make sure there's no leaks after I re-assemble everything ?
Hey Stevie 👋 just got done watching this incredible video I enjoyed it immensely brother and I actually learned something haha 😄 this was so fun to see done and its very interesting and important and so informative bless 🙌 you for the Awesome share it will help out lots of people! ✌🤲🙏🔥🥳😱💪
Hi my fan is noisy on my 250 ff so I will need to change it soon, you said you had 2 clips on the top of the front case, did you mean screws because mine has 2 screws at the top and the 2 at the bottom like yours? Thanks
Hi mate, did you show a service on this boiler, mine fires up but doesn't satisfy the stat upstairs, I'm thinking service or sludge build up again above boiler
Hi, I replaced the fan assembly on my Ideal Classic FF250 and also had to change the tubes as they disintegrated when removing them. Now it's not firing up. The fan is working perfectly and the gas valve was changed not so long ago by a plumber. Any ideas as to why its not firing up now? The fan was definitely the issue beforehand but don't know what it could be now!
No glen. Only if they are damaged . The one l changed was in poor condition that’s why I changed it. You can buy them on eBay they cast about £2 pounds. Hope this information help you cheers
Hi again Stevie, just wondering if you're thinking about a video on changing the thermostat sensor harness on an Ideal Classic. I've just changed the PCB as one of the relays was choked up (must have been sparking. There are 2 on the PCB each with 2 contacts. I could see three were clean enough and one was dirty), but it's actually not sorted out the problem of clicking on and off - gas ignites and stays on for a few seconds, then goes back to the pilot only. As there's not much in the boiler I figured it must only be the thermostat sensor or the pressure switch (am I right in thinking that the gas valve is probably OK as the gas is getting through?). The sensor looks easy enough but I've not seen where it actually goes to and from (PCB on the plug end I guess?). Thanks.
I have this boiler and it keeps cutting out then firing up again. Takes forever to get to the required temperature. I did find the motor was seized on the top of the fan last year so I fitted new bearings which did the trick at the time. What do you think is causing it to keep stopping and starting?
Just changed one on a ideal classic ff240 all working fine with case off but flame goes out when I put the case on and then reignites and then goes out again? Any ideas??? Thanks

Great video thank you, just changed the fan on my 350ff using it. What's involved in a service of these boilers, can it be done by a DIYer?
your welcome . yes all you need to do is hoover where the gas burners are and make the power supply is off
your very welcome
Thanks for video. Good job.
Your welcome
Really helpful video - thanks

Hi Steve, thanks for the video. I have FF240, most of the time. it fires up until the reset button pops out. Please do you have an idea?
Probably the printed Circuit board need replacing cheers steve
Any idea what the inner diameter of the silicon tube is? Just looking to buy some replacements
Hi, I think they’re about 6 mm but if you go online and put in fan parts they will come up. Cheers

Make sure the gas is on
@@steviemango993 Gas definitely on Stevie, gas fire on in living room and gas oven on.
@@steviemango993 Turns out it was the PCB. Thanks for your help.
What are the tubes called I need to replace mine. Also what size are th tubes
After replacing the fan, you mention replacing the pipes, do you need to replace the pipes?
No glen. Only if they are damaged . The one l changed was in poor condition that’s why I changed it. You can buy them on eBay they cast about £2 pounds. Hope this information help you cheers
no you don't need to if the pips. only change them if they are damaged

Sorry for the late reply. Yes will be doing a video on changing thermostat very soon cheers Steve

You may need to change the fan . If you can see it the fan moves easy at the top of the motor. Make sure you turn the power off cheers
