Cordon Bru, BRUHEAT Boiler

Post by realale1845 » Wed Nov 11, 2009 11:58 pm

Hi there,

i hope you can help,

I have an old Cordonbru Bruheat boiler.

The thermostat has packed up.

I've taken it to bits & the plastic pin that holds the metal clip in the centre had snapped.

i glued it & left it on the microwave. " NOBODY TOUCH IT"
Needless to say, the Mrs cleaned it & lost the pin!!!!!! Knightmare.

Does anybody know what length it should be, or better still what I can use to fix it. I've tried tooth picks, straws everything (Non metal) I can find, & no matter what length I cant get the thermostat to work again.

I see many threads regarding by passing the thermostat. This would be my next option, but a boiler that I've had a good 25 years, it seems a shame not to fix it. Any help appriciated.

I have had a Bruheat boiler for well over twenty years, the thermostat packed up ages ago, I just disconnected it and it works fine. No gentle simmer though, just a rolling boil.
