Hi
I have a Glow Worm EconomyPlus boiler, which has suddenly decided it's not going to fire up.
When the timer comes on, you can hear the pump come to life but there is no familiar 'click' to ignite. The pilot light is out.
My question - what would cause this, and is it down to a simple part that can be replaced without having to get a corgi registered engineer involved? if so, would it be a cheap fix?
Alternative is to pay about 100 quid to have Glowworm send someone round with a sledgehammer. This doesnt seem too bad if it solves the problem (and they service the little fighter). But this has happened previously. Last time, it just started working again after a while with no intervention.
But I would like to understand what's going on.
Ta very much
Great Forum!
