please help!! Just moved to new house, has the above central heating boiler. All was fine until today when had to turn off the gas supply to install a new cooker.
Now, cannot get the ignition to light, how do I do this?
Appreciate any comments!!!

lighting instructions are usually on the back of the door

Who installed ur gas cooker?

A corgi registered plumber fitted it, but they've gone now.

There is no door to the boiler, it looks quite old. There's only a dial which I've tried pushing in and turning, it is making a noise but not flaring up at all.

so get them back as they have a duty to relight pilots etc
after doing the tightness test

I know that, but ideally I want it doing now as the house is freezing!! I wanted to know if there was a safe way of doing it myself?

does the gas valve look like

I know that, but ideally I want it doing now

it should have been done before they left

That's the problem, I can't see a thing!!! I'm going to have to remove the front cover to see anything. Is this dangerous?

 

[kevplumb]

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE BACK OF THE COVER

IE THE WHITE BIT

Okay then, I'll attempt to remove the cover. Just hope I don't kill myself in the process!

Thanks for your help.

If you remove the cover beter be sure the old seal is still good when you replace it.

Its probably the pezo electric spark thing that is not working.
