My ideal elan 2 boiler ignites from cold with no problem. However after a period of time anything from an hour to longer it refuses to fire up. After a period of time when it obviously cools down it will then fire up again.
I initially thought there was a problem with the over heat stat, although this does not need to be reset as it does not pop up. However I replaced it with some success I thought as this morning the boiler fired constantly. However the same problem has started tonight again. I can hear the air pressure switch clicking in and the fan is running but still no ignition. Was wondering if it could be a pump problem, maybe the water can not get away from the boiler quick enough and its overheating and then is cutting out until its cooled down. However why doesn`t the overheat stat click in ?
Have phoned a round some heating engineers so far none want to know this side of Xmas. Would a new pump solve the problem or is my conclusion wrong? Don`t fancy being without consistent heat until after Xmas.
Any help appreciated
