Hi Chaps,
the last couple of mornings my relatively new (4 years old)
Worcester Bosch 24 boiler has failed to come on in the early morning.

The thermostat seems to be working ok and the timer unit seems to be
sending signals, but the boiler does not ignite.

At first I thought it might be the fuse to the boiler, so I changed that
and after turning the dial on the front to zero and then back on again
the boiler fires up ok and seems to work correctly all day.

Then last night, it was working fine just before I went to bed but
nothing this morning until I did the dial thing again.


So Have you guys (and gals) come across anything similar?

Is it time for a service? I'm ok with electrcals/electronics tests
but I'm wary of gas appliances, so I'd like to see if there's an
explanation so I don't get ripped off if I have to call a bloke in...

After 4 years might be best to bite the bullet and get a WB engineer.
For £200 they replace up to 3 major parts. IME they replace whatever's
failed plus 2 other bits that might go. Given the cost of the spares, it
can stack up well against getting a local engineer.
