Hi all,

Seems my issue with my Potterton Kingfisher MF CF 60 boiler got worse. I
know it worked this morning as we had heating and hot water. Now, I dont
have a pilot light.
Can you light these manually?



I know of the electronic ignition version but then that also has a fan
in
it


Does this boiler have a fan and is it running when the ignitor is
"clicking"? Some boilers require a pressure difference to turn on the
main
burner but this condition may also apply to the pilot.


The "CF" (conventionally flued) indicated to me that it was not fan flued


Just a thought.

Plus the OP said he was getting 'sparking' at the pilot, this wouldn't
happen until a fan had proved any air pressure switch.
