A few months ago with the help of this forum, I was able to safely diagnose a fault with my Baxi Solo 3 and employ an RGI to fix the problem. Click here for a link to the original post. Two weeks ago a different problem appeared. Manifest only when the boiler first comes on as follows:
1) Electrode sparks.
2) Pilot lights and then immediately goes out. (it looks almost as if it's been blown out)
3) Process 1 & 2 repeats several times.
4) ‘Burner on’ light illuminates and immediately goes off, accompanied by a click of a solenoid. Burner doesn’t actually light.
5) Steps 1 to 4 repeated continually (on one occasion for 15 minutes.) before main burner eventually lights.
Once the main burner has fired for the first time it will cycle on and off OK as controlled by the boiler thermostat, fires up every time.
Any pointers before I call the RGI back? Could this be related to the previous fault, or is it something completely different?
