Hi all
I have bought a house and got the keys yesterday. I tried to start the boiler but it is showing flame failure fault. It was working when I viewed the property. The seller has left behind BG annual service record dated August that shows all ok. The property would have been empty from mid September until yesterday.
When I try to switch on the power, only the power light comes on and after few seconds the flame failure light starts flashing. The reset didn’t work initially. After some attempts, the boiler tries to fire up on reset but gets immediately cut off. The hot water light starts flashing. After few seconds the fan failure light starts flashing. After few seconds gap the fan failure light stops and the flame failure light starts flashing again. There also appears to be some small leakage within the boiler.
Not sure what my options are with respect to the seller or BG. Is this something which can be easily checked and fixed or do I need to get in an Engineer.
Any advise would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
