Hi all, i have a Megaflo unvented system with an Ideal classic se21FF boiler downstairs. Woke up yesterday heating and hot water had both been on in the morning. But when i tried to put it back on for more water the boiler would not fire up as normal.
The boiler will not ignite for heating or hot water. When i move the programmer to on for heating, the boiler comes alive after a few seconds but wont fire. ie, the fan is operating. If i move the programmer to on for water it does nothing. I removed the cover and checked the fans operation and this seems fine.
I have no problem with getting someone out, just not today for obvious reasons.
All im asking is are there any checks i could do to help diagnose the problem without going in too deep.
Any help appreciated.
I am a qualified mechanical engineer, therefor i have some knowledge but obviously would not delve into the gas side of the boiler.
