Baxi Solo 15 HE repeated ignition attempts

Ian234 · 15 Jan 2008

I recently installed a Baxi Solo 15 HE heat only boiler. It worked fine for a month but since then it can sometimes take up to 8 attempts to light. Each time the fan starts and the ignition is applied but it immediatly shuts down. It then repeats the same sequence until eventually it lights. It will allways keep trying until it succeeds. It never displays any fault lights.
Any one got any idea as to the cause?

Check the electrode lead connection at the electrodes during ignition,check for any tracking of the spark other than where it should be.
Call Heateam.
