Hi, I have a Baxi 80e gas powered combi system installed in my house. I'm not sure when the problem started to occur as we moved into the house during the summer - it seemed to be working fine. This problem has only been occuring during the autumn and winter seasons.
Problem
When we turn the heating on it starts up as normal, but then the neon gas light starts flashing after about 10 seconds (with no rhythm). Eventually the heating turns itself off and the 'Pilot' neon light starts flashing to indicate an error associated with the pilot flame. Funny thing is that the hot water function is not affected by this problem, and, if i turn the heating on and fill the sink to do the washing up straight away, the heating system seems to work fine when it switches back over from the hot water.
Fix attempts
I've tried changing the pressure switch (simple task) - as i saw the somebody had mentioned it on another forum. This made no difference.
Another concern is that there are dead bees, wasps, spider etc inside the boiler unit (they must have come in thorough the flue and been baked). Will try to get up there to check the flue for blockages at some point soon. Has anyone had the same problem and implemented a fix that doesnt require me to pay my whole xmas funds to a Corgi chap??
Thanks for reading
