Wickes Combi 2000: ignition lockout problem - RESOLVED

franzipan · 11 Apr 2009

My boiler was switched off for a week whist some work was done on my house. Now, when I try to switch on the hot water/heating, the Ignition Lockout light comes on and the reset button doesn't seem to reset it.

Any ideas on how to reset this other than the button on the front without an expensive callout?

Edit: I've just seen this thread so I'll try the suggestion unless anyone else has any thoughts

I've tried draining and re-entering the water but still no joy. I have no pilot light.

Any thoughts?

did you turn the gas (back) on

I have a fear of looking like a total Muppet so I have checked the gas is on and have drained the water etc but still no pilot light. The only gas appliances are the water and the heating - both via the boiler so I can't check the gas supply very easily. Paid my bills tho

Try turning on a hot water tap and then see if it resets.

Otherwise you may need to call a boiler engineer.

Found the solution:

Open the front cover and, at the back of the top left corner of the unit is a reset button.

Nice of Halstead/Wickes to hide it away out of sight!
