I have a Ideal Mexico Super 2 CF60 Boiler. It has developed a fault which I originally first noticed as luke warm radiators and tepid hot water.
On further Investigation I noted that the main burner ignites, runs for a minute of two and then stops leaving the pilot flame running. The main burner will not re-ignite even though the hot water and central heating controls are on demand. I confirmed this by testing the voltage at the gas valve, which was 235V, but the main burner will not ignite.
Eventually almost randomly the main burner will ignite, but again how long it runs for seems almost random. It never seems to get hot enough for the boiler thermostat to operate.
Has anyone any ideas ? I suspect that the Gas Control valve is faulty - time to get a Corgi out I suppose.
Also can anyone explain what the purpose of the supressor is across the Gas Valve, my theory is that it smooths the switching on and off of solenoid for the main burner.
Thanks
Steve
