hi there all!
Question!!!
i have a worcester heatslave junior. the problem at the moment is the hot water wont heat up?
The cental heating is ok but the hot water remains cold.
when you turn the hot water dile up the gas lights up, but then there is a clicking!! the gas heat then stops and shuts down. testing again i have to relight the pilot light.
This only happens when i want to turn the hot water thermastat up on the front of the boiler.
question!! is it a celinoid or thermastat thats the problem

It sounds as if the secondary heat exchanger is blocked causing the boiler to overheat.

But it could also be the temperature control has failed.

is the recomended cure to flush out the system first and check the control switch?? for the hot water
