My Combi Boiler (Alpha 240p) is playing up.
When we switch the shower or tap on initially the boiler ignites and we receive hot water. However, after a about a 30 seconds to a minute the boiler cuts out and the water goes cold. The Pilot Light remains lit though.
I tried switching the heating to 'on', to see if the boiler ignites and it does, but again cuts out after 30 seconds to a minute.
I am not sure how long this boiler has been fitted as it was here when we moved in 5 1/2 years ago. We have had a few previous problems with it and I am aware that Alpha Boilers are known to be utter tosh, so maybe cheaper in the long run to get a new one!?
I would be grateful if someone could help with a possible diagnosis for the problem we're having.
Cheers in advance.
