HELP! Potterton PrimaF will not light

[emeyedeejay]

Hi Folks... been ages since I was in these parts - I guess that's a good thing right?

I've come home this evening to a buzzing sound coming from the boiler - thought to myself "hmmm that does not sound right or good" and sure enough ... the boiler will not light for either CH or water heating.

I can hear the sprung valves (forget what they are called) opening and closing in response to thermostats so I think all that side of things is good.

What happens is if I turn everything off then turn the hot water heating on, a low buzz - almost like an electrical buzz starts followed by a click which all sounds usual but then when the flames would normally light, nothing happens and the low buzz just continues.

Any ideas? PCB/seized fan?

Any thought most welcome...

I've got an idea, but it's inside the casing and that's RGI territory, sorry!

Thanks twgas - already had a nosey around the outsides, reset switch, sprung valve things (what are they called!)

They are all responding as they should and I can hear the clockwork sound so I've resigned myself to getting somebody out tomorrow.

ANy recommendations in KT4? I used someone of here before who was localish - Chris I think was his name but I can;t find any contact details alas.

Anyway - thanks again ... it's the thought that counts
