Wondering if you could be of assistance please.
Just been renovating a house after we bought it as a repossesion. After taking some measurements, I wasn't happy with the placement of the boiler, it was too low. So seeing as I needed to replumb, rewire and just about everything else in the house, I promptly removed it from the wall and stored it in a cupboard.
4 months on Im now ready to put it back again 5 inches up the wall with new central heating system to it. SO I heave the damned thing back on the wall, prime up the system and purge of any air etc etc. switch on electric turn knobs to max, turn and hold to reset for a few seconds and let it do its thing.
The on light appears, it clicks a few times, and it ignites. So it runs for a few seconds, and then promptly goes out after 10 seconds. It then restarts the whole sequence twice more, to which Im then greeted with a flashing flame sensor/condensate drain blockage, well the condensate drain isn't connected and theres only an inch of water in the clear trap on the right so Im certain its not that. So I think aha! Must be flame sensor. So I look at the installation manual and discover that the ignitor and the flame sensor are the same part number, so I whip off the cobmustion chamber and swap them round, reassemble and turn back on. Still no joy and runs through the same process. the same can be said for hot water demand, same sequence as above. So I fiddle around with it a bit more and do some tests. In the manual it states the flame current should be 1 micro amp, to which I don't have a multimeter sensitive enough to measure, however I do know that when the boiler is lit I do get aroud 1.5v from the flame sensor so I would imagine thats not the problem. unfortunatly what this does mean is that its potentially the Board, which I would imagine is remarkably expensive.
Unless of course Ive missed something stupid?
Anybody care to shed some light please?
Thanks in advance,
Jody
