My Ideal Isar M30100 has worked in fits and starts over the years, recently managing a record-breaking 2 whole years without failure but it looks like the PCB has finally decided to join it's many antecedents (seven at the last count, most under guarantee, thank goodness) by presenting a dead short to the mains...and on a Friday night to boot :-(
So should I give up and replace the whole damn thing or throw another =A3200 at it and at least get a year's warranty on the new pcb? Is anyone repairing pcbs nowadays or are they still 'disposable'?
If I did get a new boiler, which brand is least likely to contain the kind of electronics which spontaneously commits suicide if you dare to apply power to it?
Last question... why did I think it was a good idea to dump the idea of a hot water cylinder with it's inherent backup immersion heater, for a bloody combi... (no need to answer that one)
