just been asked by my neighbour a lovley pensioner to try and see why her boiler is not starting up and going to a regular flash on red reset button.
my neighbour has a heating engineer who is on holidays until tuesday, i am not going to try to repair the boiler unless it was a low water pressure or something turned off accidently.
pressure was already at 1.2 bar,so thats ok,
ok fan runs but no ignition.
same on water or heating demand.
then goes to red flashing reset button approx flash 1 per second.
was a lot of cob webs on outside flue terminal,brushed these away,still no progress.
had a brief look inside boiler,yes i know this is gas safe area,looks very clean but boiler fires up when case approx 2 inches away from boiler.
but not when screwed back.
just really need any pointers on what she needs to tell her engineer so he may be able to collect parts on way just to speed up repair and get her warm again.
gas has now been turned off in the gas meter box.lever fully turned down as per adhesive tape instruction.
has electric cooking,just boiler on gas.
any help would be very helpfull.
many thanks,
