Had a few problems with my dads central heating just after Christmas.
It was working fine, ie coming on/off on two timed settings each day with no problems.
Just after Christmas i popped in to drop in some shopping and found it had not fired up that morning. I pushed the re set button it cycled but did not fire. After waiting for the lockout to reset i tried again and it fired and run perfectly. This then happened randomly every 3 or 4 days. We decided to get his normal guy out to look at it and after inspecting it, cleaning everything out it was decided to give it a full service and replace a fairly old oil pumpand capacitor at the same time.
All went well. Parts Fitted, Danfos pump, New Nozzle and capacitor. He then went on to set everything up until he was satisfied with his readings on his tester, cleaned up and left.
All worked fine for around a week, then the same fault. It starts Second time, every time and runs perfectly until the next timed setting. The engineer has since been back and changed the magic eye and again, all ok for around a week then wont start on a timer ie 7am...
Push the reset Twice and it fires up second time....
Tank full of oil, new filter at Tank end , good fuel flow at Fire Valve.
Reading up on the set up, the only thing i can think it might be now is the Siemens control box that starts the sequence . Any one heard of similar problems ???
TIA
