Hi All,
I have a problem with my Ideal Classic FF270 boiler in that the pilot light will not ignite, but fan comes on. Based on a good bit of research on this, I suspect that the fan is not turning quickly enough to allow the pilot light to fire.
This appears to be a common problem that I can provide an interim fix on by lubing the bearings on the fan. As I am unable to get a CH Engineer out for the next few days, I would like to do this myself till they can come out and get the fan replaced.
The only problem I have is that I cannot see how to get into the fan. I am able to remove the cage at the bottom and get into the PCB etc, however the main unit where the pilot light, fan etc are appears to be a sealed unit. I am sure I am just missing something though, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to gain access to the fan?
Many thanks,
Gary.
