Spot the mistake! πŸ•΅πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ› οΈ

I just worked on a boiler that’s been 'acting up' since it was installed 12 years ago. I finally found the reason why it’s been overheating and cycling all this timeβ€”and it’s a 'Day 1' error that’s been sitting in plain sight. 🀯

The full reveal is in today’s video! Watch it now and see if you’d have caught it: πŸ‘‡πŸ½

POLL: What’s the first thing you check when a boiler is cycling?
πŸ”˜ The pump/flow rate πŸ“ˆ
πŸ”˜ The thermistors/NTC sensors 🧠
πŸ”˜ The thermostat/wiring πŸ“ž
πŸ”˜ The PCB πŸ› οΈ

Had a lovely long weekend away with my family to Center Parcs Woburn πŸ€— lots of walking, fresh air, and just a nice time away from working and spending time with my favourite people πŸ₯°

Now back to work to make more money so I can spend it again with my family on the next trip 😁

Part 2 is LIVE TONIGHT And I’ll be honest... it didn't go to plan. πŸ“‰πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

I went back for the second visit thinking I’d nailed the diagnosis. I was wrong. 🀯 If you've ever felt totally defeated by a fault, this episode is for you.

I’m now 2 visits in, and still no closer to a fix. At this point, I was questioning everything!

Watch Part 2 tonight at 6 and tell me what would you have checked next? πŸ‘‡πŸ½

I’ll be honest... this job nearly broke me. πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ› οΈ

We’ve all had those days where you think you’ve nailed the diagnosis, only to get that dreaded 'it’s still not working' phone call the next morning.

This boiler took me 3 visits to finally solve. In tonight's video (Part 1), I’m showing you the initial diagnostic nightmare where I was basically guessing because the numbers just weren't making sense.

It’s raw, it’s frustrating, and it’s the side of the trade people don’t always want to showβ€”but I think it’s important to be real about it.

Part 1 of the 'Diagnostic Nightmare' drops TONIGHT at 5.30! πŸ••

POLL: How do you feel about 'Callbacks'?
πŸ”˜ Part of the job, we’re only human πŸ› οΈ
πŸ”˜ Hate themβ€”ruins my whole week πŸ“‰
πŸ”˜ I’d rather admit I’m stumped than 'guess' 🧐
πŸ”˜ I haven't had one... yet! 🀞🏽
