Hi,
Situation: I had a problem with my boiler a week ago where is didn't fire up in the morning and was displaying the error 133. I removed the spark ignitor and it was visibly misshapen from heat.
I ordered the new part and reshaped the old one in the meantime. It fired up but failed to fire the next morning. I removed the ignitor again to find it in the same shape I left it with a 5mm gap. However, it did have some orange oxidation (rust) on the electrode, once cleaned off the boiler fired up. The new part came and I changed it leaving the old one to hand as a spare.
One week later the same problem happens, with the new part. Upon removal, the ignitor was the correct shape but had oxidation on the closest points. After cleaning and refitting, it works.
Question:
Am I going to continue to have this problem?
Is the source of the problem the ignition coil being weak?
Or is my boiler not combusting properly?
Thanks
John
