A strange thing has happened to my boiler... I came home to find the radiators were cold. There was call for heat but the main burner was not lit. The only way to get the boiler to fire was to turn the boiler thermostat down to zero. Turning it up even just slightly would turn off the burner.
I left the boiler on for a while and when it had warmed up there was no way to turn it off using the thermostat control. I switched off the electric and now I notice that the pilot light is still lit.
Any ideas??
