Hi
I'm new here, have searched the forums for an answer but can't find anything the same as this problem. My Corgi plumber is running out of ideas and the manufacturers helpline is not being helpful, so as a last resort I'm posting on here!
- Boiler is a Main 24 HE (about 18 months old)
- The flame failure light comes on almost every day when the heating tries to fire up (although sometimes it works ok). It's starts to make the clicking noises but never gets going, after a few tries the boiler gives in and the 'flame failure' light appears.
- Quite often, the only way to get the heating on is to reset the boiler whilst running the hot tap, this then gets the boiler started and the heating going. Strangely, the hot water doesn't seem to have a problem in getting it fired up.
- The Corgi engineer adjusted the flame sensor down vertically slightly but this only temporarily helped.
- This has been going on now on and off for a few months.
- Just had the Corgi safety certificates and it passed ok.
- The plumber isn't sure what to try next, is this the PCB or something simpler??
Surely somebody has had this identical problem and knows what to do??
Many thanks in advance for any help
Bobby
