Hi all,
this post has been copied from another one of my posts. I was concerned that that thread was over 4 years old and might not get picked up
My friend asked me to have a look at her boiler.
Long story short:
All functions seem to be working except the crucial bit.... actually firing up!
I personally have a Vaillant VCW GB 242 EH Boiler so felt quite confident about finding a possible solution. (just about changed every part on it over a 17 year period
)
In her boiler I could see what looked like the diverter valve with a rod that moved up and down when either the CH was active or HW was drawn. This microswitch I believe is suppose to trigger the burner?
Looking closely, it seems (microswitch) to be moving freely and a click can be heard when fully depressed.
Is this the likely cause of the boiler not igniting?
Many thanks - appreciate any help
