Hi,
I have a problem with the boiler. It's coming on but won't stay on. It extinguishes after about 2 seconds and continues to do this over and over.
I took the cover off and after some reading around, some mentioned it might be the microswitch. I looked at it and noticed that the pin was fully sticking out and stuck against the miscroswitch. With a bit of persuasion, I managed to free the pin so that it now retracts in and out without getting stuck. However, the problem still remains.
I did have someone out to take a look at it, but it seems that they didn't really know what they were doing and said that the heat exchanger has gone - I don't think that this is the case at all. The boiler is only about 3 years old. It was then suggested that it might be the air pressure switch and convent pipe? However, I think I'm being taken for a ride but I'm not getting on!
If anyone could help me I'd be very grateful.
