Gas boiler

What it means

Boiler fails to ignite or ignites briefly then extinguishes

Likely causes

  1. Gas pressure below 18 mbar at boiler inlet
  2. Detection electrode fault or contamination
  3. Condensate pipe blocked
  4. Flue installed incorrectly
  5. Spark generator fault
  6. Ignition electrode fault
  7. Gas valve fault
  8. Pump not wired to boiler

Where to start

  1. Check gas pressure at boiler inlet (minimum 18 mbar)
  2. Inspect detection electrode for continuity, visual condition and position
  3. Check condensate pipe for blockage

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
