The house boiler won't light.Anyone know what to check?

The thermostat seems to be working, just the bolier is not firing up.Any ideas?

We had that the exact same thing other day mate, the boiler man went to the airing cuboard and changed a little round motor.

He also charged us £105 to do that so as we're mates ill call it £50

 

(ps this is what we had done, this might not work for you lol)

If it is a condensing boiler, check that the pipe outside has not frozen solid. A plumber that I know told me that this is a common problem at this time of year.

Sounds like the thermocouple to me - only a few quid so start there before moving onto big bucks

As suggested check the pipe outside (if it has one?) Thaw it will boiling water then insulate it, we had same problem last year and that's all the plumber did to sort it!

Get it covered like I do. I pay £5 a month with Npower which covers the boiler, rads, fire, electrics, drainage, water etc. Usefull if boiler breaks down. A massive bill if your not covered.

The fans broke.Fitting a new one tomorrow.

Tried the kettle, but apparently not a condensing boiler. Thanks for for all your help lads.


Too cold for me to work so that side of things was handy as i was able to be here.

[Dave Willis]

too cold Slumps? | thought you guys with heaters would be ok. How cold is it down your way?

[Clive McDonald]

Below freezing, i'm not sure -2?

Van okay, worried about customer perception and leaving ice.


I was surprised by steves immersion heater thread- it froze on the glass and ground for me.
