    Ideal Classic FF250 help needed

    Thanks guys, It looks like it is that little black box. The next time it stopped, it started again on tapping it again. I'll check the solder connections and if there's nothing to re-solder, I'll get another PCB. I can get a second hand one for £28. Is that an OK price? Thanks for all...

    Hi, It's stopped working! I'm new to the workings of central heating but I'll do my best to describe what I've managed to work out. It's about 6 years old. The burners fail to burst into life when they should. It started happening intermittently 6 months ago, but it always rectified...
