To remove the outer casing on a Greenstar boiler, you need to be a "competent person" - HSE has defined this as being Gas Safe registered. The HSE can, and do prosecute people for working on gas boilers when not GS registered.If it were possible to access the PCB & connectors without removing the outer casing, I'd be the first to say it is a DIY job. But not on a Worcester Bosch.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Been through the same debate with another forumite within the last week or so... The WB Greenstar boilers have a seal around the outer case, so it is not decorative. The case, along with the seal, is there to prevent fumes escaping in to the room should a fault develop internally. Without the proper training and test equipment, one can not just remove the outer casing and still be compliant with the rules & regulations.Zandoni said:From Gas safe website

The guy who made the video is a gas engineer. You do NOT need to be Gas Safe registered to work on your own boiler doing this.FreeBear said:spaceboy said: Apparently you don't need to be Gas Safe to do this work on your own boiler:the joys of random youtube videos.
