worcester 350

[350worcester]

wonder if anybody has had previous trouble with worcester 350 combi boiler,,i have replaced the spark ignitor and still no luck with the boiler firing up.

 

[Mbear]

jog my memory, Is it permanent pilot or electronic?

 

[350worcester]

hi there,its electronic and the boiler is not igniting even though we have replaced the spark igniter

 

[emerald]

is it even sparking?

 

[350worcester]

its electronic and the boiler just wont ignite even we have replaced the spark igniter,cheers

no sparking,there's no life from the igniter even though its brand new??sounds like everything else is working,,theres just no ignition,cheers

 

[Mbear]

Pump, fan, pressure switch. Are these all operating?

You'll need to give more detail mate, no use saying I've changed one thing and it's still not working. Tell us what is working?

Can't help if u don't tell us

 

[350worcester]

probably repeating myself here,,not sure how these forums work!!!sounds like everything else is ok,,just no ignition even though its a new spark igniter ,,cheers

Are u getting power to the spark generator?

 

[350worcester]

pump, fan, pressure switch all ok and working,just burner not igniting,,no spark

how do i test this please,cheers

how do i test this,,do i need a multi-meter??

 

[Mbear]

Is the solenoid lifting?
Is power at the spark generator?
have u Checked condition of electrodes and their leads?

If all above is ok, electrodes are ok and spaced apart correctly, there's power at the spark generator then it could be the board not supplying power to the generator.

that boiler has its own ignition board, im suspecting that or air pressure switch

Wat he needs is a gsr eng in, he's clearly clueless about testing boilers. And as such will prob zapp himself trying to fix it.

 

[emerald]

thanks for all that information,,,hubby gonna check all those things in the morning,,hes been 6-2 today and patience is wearing thin,,,we will be back on here tomorrow,,thanks once again

Hopefully you are getting someone in ,as if gas is coming through to main burner and not igniting and casing off, with your husband’s head in it and the ignition did suddenly work, he could end up in the burns unit at least, with some nasty injuries
Find it hard to believe someone would have a go at this problem without any experience, I would have to be saving quite a lot to risk third degree burns
