Hi,
I've got a 7 year old Ariston 30 combi boiler and I was hoping that someone could suggest what is going wrong with it?
It worked fine for years but recently the flame has been cutting out on a regular basis. This seems to happen nearly every time that we run hot water for any length of time, but also sometimes when the central heating kicks in, and it is pretty difficult to get the boiler to ingnite again afterwards. It is pretty random when it happens - we went a day and a half with getting heating in ten minute bursts before the boiler shut itself down, followed by 3 days of solid performance, followed by another day of 10 minute bursts.
I've had a heating engineer out to have a look, but he came on a day when it was working fine, cleaned the electrodes and said he couldn't see anything else wrong with it!
