peakepilote Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Henry, I had this problem. Make sure the vent cover is off if not already. I tried everything and then I noticed that while the wife was packing the cupboards , she had knocked one of the isolation valves to off, therefore turning off the gas supply to the boiler. I wasn't mad >:-) it is usually something simple, just a matter of finding the fault. Good luck ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Cole Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi welcome to the forum Do you mean that the gas is not staying alight? You have not said what type of water heater it is If it is the 9ltr cylinder type then make sure you take the flue cover off. Underneath the coverThere is a little light sensitive, photo cell that prevents the boiler lighting when the cover is on if this gets dirty it will cause your problem. I had the same problem last year when out in the sticks a quick clean with a small brush and a good blow from my lungs cured the problem I think a spider had died on the photocell. Bugs tend to hitch a ride inside the cover when the van is not being used.If you need more help try the motorhome matters forum upstairs there is always lots of help up there. Hope this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
