This a Glow Worm 100E compact. Boiler holds pressure and has been regularly serviced (last time only about six months ago).

The problem occurs when the boiler calls for hot water when providing heating, say when a bath is being filled. When the bath is full and the demand ceases, the boiler will lock out.

When it has done this, it is difficult to get the boiler to ignite, whether the demand is for heating or hot water. Hitting the reset button doesn't work. As soon as there is demand, there is no ignition an dthe boiler locks out within about six seconds.

Switching everything off and leaving for a while has worked in the past but now works less and less and it seems I'm heading for a total shut out.

Thoughts?
