I just flicked on the heating and nothing happened, the pump was pumping water around the system but I got nothing from the boiler. Its a GRANT EUROFLAME and is about 25-30 years old. Any ideas??
1. Switch off all power. 2. Turn off oil feed at boiler. 3. Remover boiler-burner cover. 4. Un-screw retaining bolt at top of burner. 5.Slide burner out of boiler. 6. Un-screw burner jet cover. 7. You will now see 2 needle like probes. These are set between 3 4mm apart. DO NOT MOVE THEM. Take a wire brush and gently clean them. 3 to 4 strokes with a fine wire brush will do this.. 8. Now but all back with the exception of the boiler-burner cover. 9. Switch on power(but do not activate burner yet) and turn on oil feed. 10. Below the pump on the burner is a sump bolt. Un-screw this a little until you get a small run of oil.(good idea to place a dish under this). Now activate burner. A mixture of oil and air will be released from the loosened bolt. As soon as burner lights tighten this bolt and replace cover. If this fails then call a boiler engineer. Best of luck.
the ingniter electrode need replaced or your primary is shot. you can tell if there is not any arcing at the oil nozzle the primary is shot
Well normally i wouldn't do this but you seem nice, You can borrow my plunger of you like?
You shouldn't mess with it, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Call your oil company.
