The pilot light has gone out on my mother's boiler today. It is an old style Ideal classic standard FF60 fanned boiler. Nothing has been done differently, nothing replaced recently although it has been on more over Christmas.
The manual suggests pressing the overheat reset button - said to be on the right hand side of the unit once the controls access door is opened.
However, there is no button there. There is a red plastic knob which could be a light, but is defintely not a button that could be pressed. The only other things on the right hand side are metal and again not pressable.
When the system is switched off and then on again there is a low hum but no sound of the fan.
(The system is normally extremely noisy, but has been so for 20 odd years and she's been told that nothing can be done.)
Help please!
