Many thanks for that, very much appreciated.The fan should start before ignition, but DIY gas advice is not allowed on this site //www.diynot.com/diy/threads/diy-gas.8090/
I don't think it is the gas solenoid at all (and if I did, I wouldn't be on a forum - I'd call an engineer!). My guess would be either the fan or the PCB (PCB not sending a signal to the fan), so the question was to try ascertain the greater likelihood, before I take out the multimeter and see what (if any) current is going to the fan. Unfortunately seemed to be a far more complicated question than I originally expected - oh well, lesson learned! :/There's a bunch of faults that happen with these solo boilers that don't require you to go anywhere near the gas valve, or indeed open the combustion chamber. Seems pointless to reply to say you can't reply, because. gas.
If you think this fault is indeed the gas solenoid, just say so pointing out the need for a RGI to install and test etc.
Well you're of course entitled to your opinion, but as you've never met me and have thus no idea of my own capabilities or experience: I think I'll rely on my own intelligence and intuition to determine what is or isn't safe for me to 'fanny' around with.
I'd rather waste my own time eliminating some of the possibilities that I am capable of doing so myself, than waste money on labour charges to someone who is going to embark on the exact same process before landing on the issue.
