Boiler Sounds Like A Washing Machine

My Ideal Isar combi boiler is making a booming noise when it fires up eg.

Boiler sounds like a washing machine. Use the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler to check that the pressure is under 15 bar when the radiators are cold. As for the pressuretemp issue turn up the water temp on the boiler itll have 2 dials one for water temp and one for heating temp adjust to suit. The noise is also concentrated in those same lines running along the walls.

The noise is best described like a washing machine turning over slowly a sort of low whrrrrwhrrrrrwhrrrr cycling sound. Unfortunately when the back boiler is left unused this can become dangerous. If this is the case never attempt to fix the issue yourself.

If youre currently experiencing any of these from your boiler Id recommend looking at my troubleshooting central heating tips above. When in situ it can allow flue gases to enter the pipework and which is then dispersed to other areas of the property. When the hot water is turned on or firing to maintain temperature.

Run central heating for half an hour and see if that makes any difference. When in heating mode boiler sounds normal but when in hot water mode it sounds like a very noisy washing machine in wash mode gurgling swishing noise of water. The boilers auto air vent would be my first thing to check.

This noise happens because the water bubbles as it passes the sediment layer. When the drum begins spinning and it makes a loud noise then there is an issue. We cover appliances of any age make and model.

Why does my boiler sound like a washing machine. This sound typically does not mean there is a problem. 23 Sep 2003 Messages.
