Ideal Response 120 boiler - 'bang' then water leaks & water in fan

Jowo_2

Last night, no heating/hot water - burner wouldn't come on - pressure seemed okay but topped it up slightly. Switched boiler off and then on, pressed reset button. Still no joy

Huge 'bang' - water dripping down through boiler for a few hours (about a litre).

This morning, engineer discovered fan is still now full of water - seems to think it could be rainwater. There has been heavy rain recently but have had similar atrocious weather periods over the last few years.

Background - In the weeks before, the system had been losing pressure and needed to be topped up a couple of times a week. Last night, I identified one small leak in a radiator.

A few months before, I had it serviced when the ignition wouldn't spark (explosive sound but burner wouldn't come on). Engineer said contact points were dirty.

A few weeks later, no heating/hot water again - engineer couldn't identify problem but thought it was a loose wire - system kicked in when he pushed a wire in.

thanks for your time.

Hi
Even new out of the box they had 'hard ignition'.
If you don't have any money put aside then start saving . The Response is known for it's habit of leaking internally. (heat exchanger) Get rid ASAP'
Nasty things.

Edit I see you already know.
