could be a fault with the flame ratification

does the sparking across the electrodes continue all the while whilst the main burner is lit you should be able to hear this and possibly view it through the sight glass on the front of the boiler

hi i dont get a continuos spark it lites up then shuts off i have to reset the boiler to get a spark again
 
would it not be worth while getting back the engineer who carried out the repairs as it could be a problem with the gas pressure setting on the gas valve :?:
as you can appreciate its very difficult to give definitive answers when you are not there inspecting the boiler :!:

If it was my boiler and I did not know what I know now then I would not be wanting to pay him if he had not repaired the boiler!

my dad is a plumber it was him who changed the parts we did not pay for them as we used the 1s from his boiler as he has the same 1s he is just baffled with this problem as no one he knows can work out what else it could be so thought we would try on here for any suggestions thanks for the suggestions
 
He did not carry out repairs, he changed parts for no reason. i'd look for a better chap.[/quote]

lol cant talk about the ladies farther like that :LOL:
 
The circuit board which provides the flame rectification would be my first suspect!

Or in simple language, is your father a plumber or a gas registered boiler engineer?

To diagnose anything other than simple boiler faults you need the latter!
