My 11 year old Worcester 350 boiler will get to temperature and then completely shut down after approx 40 minutes. I then have to use the reset button to re-ingite the boiler. I have noticed that when the boiler is running, it is approx 1.5 bar, but when the boiler reaches temperature it shuts down and the pressure gauge will rise to above 3 bar and you can also hear a bubbling noise. Any help would be appreciated.
Paul, thanks for your answer. I called out Worcester and they managed to repair boiler, which included pump, pressure tank and fanassembly all for one call out fee of £185.00 inc vat. Carl.
