That's a new one on me Dennis. I've never heard of it I'm afraid.

Hi TB, it's an Alpha 24 boiler,I'm on an EON service contract,now awaiting a call to inform me when the repair will be done.I had to sign a form to say I could not have it disconnected.Just wondered how serious it is.

Sorry I can't help you Dennis. I've just been right through the manual and I can't find any mention of a heater pad.

No problem TB. My research has also come up negative,I think he must mean the heat exchanger.

Did the engineer put a "AT RISK" sticker on the boiler?
If it is classed as at risk then I cant see how a heat exchanger is at fault as this is normally used for gassing, flueing or safety problems where there is a risk to life. As for heater pad never heard of it, maybe the seal for the combustion chamber is faulty or worn. Good Luck.
