Pressing the "Reset" button makes the light go out, but fails to start and the light comes back ON again after a short wait. This is failure of the flame to light. I've seen this twice now caused by pre-mix fan failure.
The impeller disintegrates and the debris simply jams the fan and stops it from rotating. A new pre-mix fan fixes the problem. The "Ignition Lockout" light coming ON can also be caused by an absence of gas, failure of the ignition module on the gas valve, or the condensate trap or drain line being blocked. The pumps fitted to Gledhill appliances sensibly have isolation valves fitted, so failed pumps can be replaced without draining the whole system. Not so sensibly, the type of valve used is the 'ball' type which tends to leak after a few years.
On a 'ball' type valve there is no packing gland to tighten so as the leaks can't be fixed except by draining the system and replacing the whole valve, so as the leaks are small they tends to be ignored. Unfortunately though, the water drips onto the pump and eventually finds its way into the pump motor windings, causing the pump to fail. Of all the Gledhill range of appliances the Gulfstream seems especially prone to this problem.
When any of the three pumps in a Gulfstream fails it tends to damage the electronic control board. This is an expensive board to replace and I've seen dozens of these failures sometimes initiated by the leaking valve problem explained above.
The repair bill to fix it runs into several hundred pounds. The heat sensors there are actually two can become unreliable with age. This usually presents as unpredictable hot water performance or unstable hot water temperature. The clock appears to work correctly but the switch inside fails to operate. The plate heat exchanger is prone in some areas to water scaling. This presents as maximum water temperature becoming progressively lower, and in the final stages of scaling, the flow rate from the taps reducing too.
The fix is to either fit a new plate heat exchanger, or to de-scale the existing heat exchanger using conventional descaling techniques. Usually caused by triac failure on the main control board. A new board will be needed. Once timer clock failure has been ruled out this is usually caused, once again, by control board failure.
A new board is probably required. Usually caused by the automatic filling device RPZ valve, or 'CA device' failing to close properly and discharging through the safety discharge pipe. A new CA device will be needed. They cannot be successfully repaired in my experience. In addition to the long list of problems above, many Gulfstreams have potentially defective flue installations.
Anyone working on a gas appliance is required by law to examine " The effectiveness of any flue ". Gas Safe Register have issued a Technical Bulletin TB giving details of how to install and safety-check these long flue ducts. TB requires builders to install inspection panels along the length of a concealed flue duct. Absence of acess to inspect a concealed flue duct means the gas technician must issue a Warning Notice must be issued classifying the installation as "At Risk". Finally, due to the persistent unreliability of the Gulfstream and the Gulfstream A-Class I am no longer prepared to repair them, sorry!
Given the catalogue of faults to which this model is prone I recommend you consider replacing the Gulfstream instead of repairing it. The comments on this page are all my personal opinion. Copyright Michael Bryant. Gulfstream Gulfstream Gulfstream A-Class.
