Boiler won't ignite - britony combi SE boiler a

ska_lover

Good afternoon all

Our boiler seems to be going on the blink - since Friday night it has turned itself off three times, and we managed to restart using the 'reset' button, but this time it has gone off and I have spent most of today trying to restart it

I have called the landlord, but was told it will be at least a week with no heating and hotwater as we are not a priority (no babies or elderly in the house)

I have turned the entire boiler off serveral times in the vain hope this may do something, and have pressed the reset button about a million times - does anyone have any other suggestions? cheers

When this happened to our boiler the cause was the circuit board and a new one was needed. Not a long job but a part plus labour that cost just over £125.
I wouldn't put up with this "not a priority" nonsense. Have you thought about ringing at 2.30a.m. to ask why you aren't a priority?

I have just rang them back, to be set as a priority you have to have young children or the eldery.

I got the impression it could be days before they even send someone out

fault code means ''Low water pressure in the Central Heating circuit.'' - water coming out of it now..

What d you mean by 'water coming out of it now'?
Have you checked the pressure gauge? If low then repressurise via the filling loop.

What sort of priority is this? Do you pay lower rent in order to be given a poorer service? You are entitled to your landlord acting in a timely manner, generally you should expect the same level of service as if your were a home owner and responsible for fixing the boiler yourself. Would you say you can live without hot water for a week? Complain. In writing.
