Problem:
Boiler fires ok when cold, and cut off when temperature has reached cut off set with knob. So far so good. But it would not start again until approx 1hour , and then will fire again no problem. So it effectively run 5 minutes every hour.
The boiler does not overheat, everything seems ok.


I have successfully tested the thermostat sensor, the fan and pressure switch, and all lloks good.
For testing purposes, I removed the combustion box door (held by 4 latches) and boiler works perfectly.
But if I fit the combustion box door back, the boiler will exhibit the problem.

So,it seems like a build up of temperature in fan/pressure switch area causes the problem.

Has anybody got any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Sorry mate but not allowed to tell you on an open site what is wrong you need a RGI to sort this, and stop removing the combustion cover it is dangerous to do so
