First thing to check is power to pump and if its running. This is the first thing to activate after you turn your htg or hw on.

does the pump run and operate flow sensor

Have you checked the pcb fuse?

 

[namsag]

PUMP runs operates microswitch in divertor section bringing on fan, fan makes air pressure switch boiler comes on, alphas get little noddules building up on the venturi by the fan that stops the correct airflow to pressure switch so it may be this.
Get somebody tha knows out to have a look
