I am freezing cold and my landlord won't pay for an engineer until the morning.
The model of boiler is a e.l.m. leblanc and the website is in french so I can't get any help there.
Whatever I do I can't get any gas to flow through the pilot light source. In order to ignite there are two buttons that have to be depressed - a grey one which I assume should open the gas flow and a red one that after about 20 seconds starts the ignition sparks. The sparks are fine but there is no gas to light.
I have taken all the covers off and hoovered out the whole thing to try and ensure there is no dust blocking the flow but still nothing.
I thought that these things needed a bit of the mechanism to be warm in order to let the gas flow and I wonder if the twenty second delay is not a time period when something is failing to heat up the requisite part. If so what needs to be heated and how hot does it have to get?
In general can anyone suggest anything?
