Glowworm won't work/light/do anything

Hi, I think this might be self-inflicted

yesterday I drained down the central heating system (boiler 1 in cellar)

switched off gas and electric
drained central heating
plumbed in new plinth heater
filled system
relit pilot
tested system -fine


Went to watch TV. Noticed the TV wasn't on. The circuit for the sockets had blown.

Checked appliances, couldn't see a problem

Flicked circuit back on, everthing working fine

But now the hot water boiler - glowrom space saver RF - (boiler 2 on the top floor) -pilot is out, can't see it relight. The pump doesn't fire up.


The only thing I can think is that a fuse has blown for whatever reason in the boiler itself (the timer is still functioning), or there's an airlock in the gas system.

Any wise ideas kindly apreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ignore the above. I switched the boiler thermostat off overnight. Next day whilst running the power shower - cold - (just when the weather's turning), I tried switching the stat back on. The boiler fired up. Go figure.

I still had to have a cold shower - still I think it's character building.
