Baxi Boiler dies in the night!

[ss378]

Hello there, I have a Baxi Boiler (Combi 80 eco). It was fine las

night but this morning the pilot light has gone out and I can't seem t get it to restart. Am I missing something obvious? There are n warning lights on and there is a small click when I turn the hot tap o but the flame just won't light. many thanks s

I haven't got a combi, but if it was mine, I would look at the thermocouple. (I presume combis have them!)

It's a device that sits in the pilot flame, and turns off the gas if it gets cold (or fails). The starting procedure is usually to hold in a button, (to keep the gas coming), light the flame and continue to hold until the thermocouple turns on the gas valve.

Certainly in oldfashioned boilers it was the most common failure.
