Switch the boiler to hot water only & just check after turning off the hot water tap that the burner is actually going out.. The water valve at the bottom of the boiler has a diaphragm with a pin that activates a microswitch on the servo & tells the boiler to ignite... these scale up & seize over the years changed loads on the 282e....
