Housewarmer 55 Back boiler with emberglow 11 fire

[Taggie]

Any advice

My boiler has decided to stop working again.

Basically, you turn it on, it clicks and clicks and clicks, the pilot light does not come on and therefore it doesn't connect and so gives up and doesn't try again unless you switch it off and on again.

This happened back in February, when a plumber tried the PCB, that didn't cure it, tried the gas valve, that didn't cure it, tried the electrode, that cured it.

Now we have been advised on a previous occasions that the opening is very narrow and each time we have had it serviced that have had to work at it to get it to work again.

So can it really be the electrode again already or could something else be at fault?
Thanks

These are horrible turds to work on. The ignition lead is always getting trapped or affected by heat on these. IF you can see the lead underneath give it a wiggle to see if moving it gets it to light properly, otherwise it's time to get some poor sod in to pull it all apart to investigate.....just hope it's not me.
