Ferroli Optima 701 boiler model. Got a problem with central heating...the boiler is failing to fire...or firing for a few seconds then dying (this is on constant 'heating' with the timer overridden). Water through hot taps is generally OK, though sometimes it misfires as well. The thermocouple looks a bit 'bright' through the viewing window. Does this seem likely to be the problem? Everything else seems fine, no noises or problems when the boiler's actually running. TIA
