Heat line boiler gas failure

[ronnie72]

My gas meter ran out and when i topped it up and unlocked the meter, my cooker works but the boiler wont stay on. It starts, the pilot light ignites it then goes off. The red light at the end flashes saying gas failure??? Please help i have 4 young children and cant get anyone out to look at it till Tuesday.
The Boiler is a Capriz 25s and was only installed 3 days ago.

Capriz 25s

Nevereardofit.

Keep on and on trying the boiler. It'll be air in the pipe. It'll light eventually. Unless of course it's broke. If no luck obviously call the man back.

Sounds like you need to purge air from the gas pipe. You can do this yourself but if you don't/can't do a tightness test then you might leave yourself with a leak and bad things can happen then!

OK, it is a highly simple fault. the sensors in the trap have gotten wet. the sensors are there to stop the boiler from staying alight if the drain or trap becomes blocked.

what you need to do is first makes sure the drain is run correctly and not in to a jug or bucket. if it is then you need to get the drain run asap. also if the end of the drain is under the water level the trap becomes air locked and the same thing happens.

the trap is designed to work level if the trap have been pulled to one side during installation then the same thing can happen. there is a mod to raise the level of sensing tabs in the trap to make sure no false positives happen.

i would get your installer back and makes sure he has run the drain correctly and then open up the boiler and see if the sensing tabs have gotten wet. if so dry them and makes sure the trap is level.
