Pump on 24/7

Not sure how long this has been going on, because I only noticed when the pump got a bit noisy, but pump is on day and night, including when boiler is not on. I can't switch it off at the plug when I go to bed, because heating/water comes on before I get up. I assume pump should be switched on and o...

I have one of these boilers and it's being giving me problems on and off for a couple of years. Current symptoms When boiler comes on it sparks for about 30 secs, and then the pilot comes on, but the flame looks small, and looking through the window it appears that it is being blown around. It also ...

[quote="Steve the gas"]Hi,

Has it been serviced? Sounds like pilot partially blocked prhaps, part changing only works by luck-- not good.
Look up Hinton Heating on the web, I know him and he knows what he's doing, he may take it on?

OK, folks, anyone know anything about the airflow differential switch. I assume that this comes on when the boiler does. Someone said that there could be a blockage in one of the pipes here. Anyone know where this area is located on the boiler.

Cheers

[quote="Steve the gas"]Hi, Does the fan run freely - without struggling?[/quote] Hi Steve, yes the fan is running fine. Boiler came on this morning, but it's just as likely to just keep on sparking tonight without igniting. Sometimes I can see the pilot flame through the view window and a ...

Baxi Solo 50 Ignition problem

I have a spark and pilot is lit, but main burner does not ignite. If I partially cover the flu on the outside wall for 1-2 seconds, the boiler fires up. I realise that this is not a recommended action, but it is the only way I can get the boiler to light. This problem has now foxed 7 CORGIs. The boi...
