Got a problem with my (old) boiler. It wont fire up on its main burner. When i switch it on the pilot just goes out??
Had a guy come and have a look but he was unable to fix the problem. THe thermocouple thing was replaced. I can light the pilot with no probs at all. i then turn up the thermostat and the pilot light goes out.
The guy mentioned it could be either the gas valve, but then shook his head at the case seals as he said they were very worn. When he put the case back he also put some sticky ??aluminium around.
Not heard back from him so would like some advice from you guys here. I can hear the pump running in the cupboard upstairs ( i did a search to look for similar symptoms)
