The baxi team really know their job and have a great way of teaching making it more interesting and it sticks. I hope that at some point we can get to a stage where the training centres can re-open i would love to go to all their courses.
Excellent video, I applied all of this to find my fault I used an old style ignition timing light from the garage then tested ohms and had O.L as you did. Next tested power input just as you did. Couldn't have found it without your vid thanks very much 👍
I changed a spark generator on a duotec today, it was sparking nicely but the boiler would not light. Replaced spark gen and it worked a treat, I guess the spark was too weak?
hi i have the e113 fault spark gen is sending dc 145 and have taken the electrode out and seen it spark gas valves opening also what else could i test? could a strip down service and replacing both electrodes rectify the issue
I've just been trying to test a spark generator on an ideal logic. I have a fluke multi meter which I'm not using that often so not really that confident with. Ideal tech told me to have the fluke on AC when checking if there was power coming from the board and to look for 240volts. Is that correct or is it just because it's a different boiler. Great video by the way. 👍
Easy way to do it... carry a spare electrode and plug it in outside the burner. Or failling that you can actually take the electrode out and see if its sparks out of place ... saves getting the mutlimeter out.
If you get low voltage you’ll have this issue. If your supply is below 240v won’t be good and won’t allow enough power in amps and volts to build lad up the energy. I know this as I’ve switched over to off grid running 230v now but won’t run boiler at this voltage and get the flashing red light of death. Switch to on grid 240volt and starts a treat. Some guy said it’s to do with the earth loop back through the neutral but not at all it’s just the accumulation of voltage needs saturation into some kind of collector or capacity and release at a given build up in dc of course for the spark to do its thing. There is of course the chance I’m totally wrong and it’s as I’ve said a low voltage not allowing the correct PCB function to operate. Any solutions would be welcomed as I’m not good on the electronic workings of a boiler. There must be a work around as lots of places have voltages way below the 230v and thus have same issue.
Hi Stephen, the reason we do not test the APS on this particular boiler is because there isn't one....you might be mistaking an different type of switch for an APS. Please see attached link : ruclips.net/video/NTMz8mfkBhk/видео.html
Hi David, please book onto to our three day course where you will receive a spark tester free. Please see following link: Three-day fault finding course www.baxi.co.uk/trade/training-courses/specialist-training-courses/three-day-fault-finding-course

Love this. Wish more manufactures would make videos like this.

Clear and concise,brilliant job Rob,keep them coming.
Really enjoy your videos guys. .but need more of them
Hello, I follow you very fondly. The information you share is priceless. Loves from Turkey.
Thanks for teaching pls do more videos on other components great.
Thank you guys these videos are amazing
Thankks ROB.
Thanks, much appreciated, more please
Well done pal, excellent video as usual
Great videos keep them up. Thanks Rob
Great Job Rob...Thank you mate !!!

Thank you for the information
You can still get the red tester to spark and still have a weak ignition
It's like using a volt stick can't trust them 100%
Fantastic video!
OMG where did you get the magentic holder for the meter? Can you post a link for it please ??
Great stuff
Rob on the duotec how do you test the hot water float assy voltages. I thought it was a switch but diagram shows it as a 3 wire hall sensor
I have an e133 fault but only when it has been running for an hour or so...any ideas ?
hi i have the e113 fault spark gen is sending dc 145 and have taken the electrode out and seen it spark gas valves opening also what else could i test? could a strip down service and replacing both electrodes rectify the issue
Rob what's the spark lead like now, last I ordered come with ora he cap a d looked just like rectification lead
Hi Where and how can I buy this product? What is the price
Where shall I buy the tester from 😢
Why dc at the pcb and not ac ??? New engineer by the way , how do u differenciate between ac and dc ? Thanks
Life saver 👏👏👏

Yep, confused too..... that's what the book says for the Megaflo as well......

Fan running but no spark - wouldn’t, you check APS first?

Amazing
Hey baxi would it be possible 2 get 1 off your spark testers sent 2 me please....thanks

Hi mate any ideas what means fault code e160
Hi there, an E160 would indicate you may have an issue with the fan.
Where can you get wiring diagrams?
t
Hi MSK Chess, the wiring diagrams are in the manufacturers instructions that can be accessed on Baxi Parts Arena
@@BaxiBoilersUK Thank you kind Sir :D
Thank you
How do you put a GA boiler into chimmny sweep and self check? Is it possible to do a video showing it thanks
Read the manual 🤦♂️
Hi there, thanks for your question, look out for the next BaxiCam video in which Rob shows you what to do!
@@BaxiBoilersUK look forward to see it. My name is chris
@@r1hopp010 lol it really is that simple :D
