Firstly let me say ... I DO NOT intend attempting to rectify this fault myself - I fully intend to get in a professional to deal with this but would like some input as to what may be causing the issue so that I am prepared and understand anything a plumber may say to me
The issue is this:
I have a Potteron Prima F automatic boiler (no pilot light).
What happens is that intermittently and randomly, the boiler will not light but gas will continue to be pumped through the boiler and out the exhaust.
I hear the boiler "prime" as it normally does (3 or 4 times) then when the flame should ignite, nothing happens but the gas continues to be pumped.
If I power off the boiler at the electric switch wait a few moments the power it back on, the next time it need to light it appears to light without issue.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Many thanks
