    I did it with wire brush bent at 90 degree which very effectively brushed off most of the deposit. Because of several years of neglet and no servicing, there are numerous trapped in between the fins which I used 18 gauges wire to shove some off. It is difficult to clean them all as the...

    What sensor would detect the flame? I put my hand on the boiler exhaust outlet, it was warm for a few second meaning fire up then cold as the fan was still running. I ask because I am not an CH engineer and have no idea to further diagnose the problem. Many thanks for the servicing manual I...

    The gas is ok. In fact the CH was running happily yesterday morning. It didn't fire up in the evening on the timer with the fan kept running (no fire). Then I checked and tightened up a loose nut holding 3 ground wires connecting the fan casing, the boiler casing and the main ground...
