Modena 80 E fires up the goes out after 1 min

[greenn424]

hi all could someone help me, my modena 80e boiler fires up on hot water then goes of after a min, but my central heating only comes on now and then, thanks nick

 

[greenn424]

now i wont work at all, i have gas and the spark, i thought it was the pressure i've done what the manual says may need to get the plumber round?

If you have a gas supply and its sparking then that would usually be a failed gas valve.

However, that is not that common on your model at this time of year and could also be the PCB ( or just possibly an o/h stat? Anyone? ).

You may need a boiler engineer.

I think you should try a little harder to find someone local who will come to you in the next 48 hours.

I am going to a repair this afternoon but have nothing in particular to repair tomorrow apart from three dirty systems to clear.

I had the same problem..and what cured it..was ...replacing the venturi ( which i broke by accident) in the fan housing...

this corrected all the problems I had been experiencing..firing up for a min then going off..not firing up at all..etc

hope this helps
