My boiler, a Glow-worm space saver F, has stopped working. Its normal sequence of operation when starting up is that the flue extractor fan starts running, then a spark electrode lights a pilot light which then lights the main burner. However, now all that happens when you switch it on is a clunk and a faint whirring sound (I'm not sure if this is coming from the boiler itself or just water circulating from the water pump). There doesn't seem to be any air blowing out from the flue and there is no sparking at the pilot light. Does anyone here have any idea what might have gone wrong and how to fix it?
