I have a Baxi Solo Gas boiler and its stopped working sometime between this monring and yesterday.

Theres no pilot light I can hear a faint ignition spark but cant see anything

Any ideas chaps ? I have gone through the fault finding chart in the manual and it says to check the fuse on the controlboard,im guessing its not the fuse coz I can hear it. Manual also suggests the controlboard itself is faulty

Please help, were all freezing !

Are these local to you, worth a ring they may be open.

pilot injector will be blocked or aybe the pilot solenoid not lifting..

you defo have gas yeah?

not something you can tackle yourself unfortunatly

 

Presume I have gas coming through. Not checked coz Im not corgi registered, nor am I confident enough to fiddle with it !

I followed the flow chart fault finder in the back of the boiler manual and it concludes a Controlboard. Only things that bugs me is that I can hear the clicking as if its trying to light, which to me would suggest that the control board is working !

Gonna have to call out the engineer in the morning ! So much for the 19" LCD I was gonna buy for the bedroom today !

And were all still bloody cold !

 

my bet is pilot solenoid mate

 

any idea how to have a go at remedying it ? or is it an engineer only job ?

 

My Dad recons it'll be the pilot injector blocked. You will have to remove the burner rail to remove it apparently. He also says it's an easy job.

 

yeah it all comes out easy ona solo

 

think im gonna left it to the engineer. I dont want to kil the missus or littleun.

Any ideas for much theyre ging to sting me for ?

 

That I can't tell you. My Dad used to assemble Baxi products rather than fix them although he does have some experience at repairing them.

 

Had the same problem on mine,got my mate who does it for a living and turned out the pilot solenoid had come loose from the board and wasn't making a proper connection

saved me about Ł100

 

does he want to pop round

 

Not from Lacashire where the factory is, no!!

Can't just 'pop' to Essex from Lancashire!!
