How to Replace the Fan on a Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T (UK)
Step-by-step UK guide to replacing the combustion fan on a Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T. Part numbers, torques, commissioning.
The part
Swap the combustion fan on Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T when you get low-speed lockouts (F28/F29 Vaillant, EA Worcester, F1 Ideal) or bearing whine.
Isolate safely
Remove the case, disconnect the fan plug and Venturi. Note the fan's part number stamped on the motor housing.
Fit and commission
On Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T the fan is torqued to 8–10 Nm — over-tightening cracks the composite plenum.
Recommission checklist
Refill the Ravenheat CSI Primary 85T to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.
Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.
