Hi
We have a Baxi Bermuda 401 back boiler, has been running fine for years, but pilot light went out at the end of last week and I couldn't relight it. So called in the Corgi engineer today.
He took off the fire at the front, and diagnosed the problem immediately, the pilot was clogged. Not with soot, but with a fine white powder (probably halfway in texture between talc and washing powder). In addition, this white powder was distributed fairly evenly all over the combustion chamber, and the heat exchanger, and even at the bottom of the flue. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be and why it is being produced?
Thanks
Alex
