PILOT LIGHT GONE OUT - WORCESTER BOSCH 230

[klg388]

I have a Worcester Bosch 230 and the pilot light has gone out. How do I re-ignite it?

I thought the instructions were on the flap?

It could have become faulty and may need an engineer to repair.

Service and installation manual will explain in detail.

Thanks to all. Manual missing but managed to get on-line instructions. Pretty straightforward and has re-ignited but now only works if heating is on. So yes, need to call an engineer out

Sounds like a failed diverter valve.

But get the engineer to check the flame failure device when he comes.

Thanks Tony, after speaking with a heating engineer (who unfortunately is going on hols!) he came up with the same suggestion so I will certainly mention it when I get somebody else out to fix it.

Any good heating engineer should have no problems dealing with a simple boiler like yours.

This evening I have received about 40 separate email notifications of a new posting to this thread.

I dont know why this should have happened but hopefully the site owner or mods might know. In case it helps here are the last four!
