Hi all
I have a five year old Hideaway 60. recently the pilot light dropped out requiring a new thermo couple.
I replaced the thermo couple, injector pilot and pilot burner assembly. including the spark electrode and piezo unit and ignition lead.
On igniting I noticed that I was getting an explosive bang. nine out of every ten ignites. The pilot flame is at the correct measurement, so I spoke to Glowworm technicalwho suggested a sticking valve.
I replaced the Gas control valve and the pilot injector for the second time to no avail.
I spoke to Glowworm again and this time they suggested the Burner, burner injector, and the main feed pipe for the pilot injector. All of these have been replaced and pressure settings have been set up. The pilot flame is at the correct length but still the explosive bang on ignition continues.
I know the problem is that the gas released in the burner is allowed to build up before the pilot flame ignites it. What I don't know is how to cure it.
Other than change the boiler does any one have any ideas???
