Hello Everyone.
I am having problems with my central heating and hot water, my Glow Wom Boiler does not seem to want to stay lit for more then a minute or so. My system is as follows:
Glow Worm Ultimate 50BF boiler
Danfoss 103 time switch
Honeywell roomstat
Honeywell cylinder stat
Grundfos pump
I have tested all the external components and find that these are working fine. The pilot is on in the boiler, but when I set the timer to constant it doesn't kick in. On the rare occassions that it does the boiler only remains working for about 5 mins - if that.
I can see from other posts on here that the pilot injector and/or main burner may be to blame. I have opened the boiler and lightly cleaned, using air, both of these components. After doing so I thought this had fixed the problem, however after 10 minutes it stopped again only leaving the pilot light on.
Can any of you suggest anything else it might be, and if not is it possible that blow cleaning these items might not have done the job? If new components are needed I'll call a gas engineer, but having some understanding of the problem would be great.
