Customer Question

ravenheat csi 85 fires up...

ravenheat csi 85 fires up for 5 seconds then goes out. This happens for about 5 or 6 times then the flame failure light comes on. When it is lit the sparker keeps sparking. It happens with both central heating and hot water.

Hi my name is Andrew - lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. If it is still sparking then it does not know it is lit. Try cleaning the electrodes and let me know if it is any better

Customer reply replied 10 years ago

I will try it but it will be just after dinner.

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 10 years ago

No problem - let me know what you find - make sure you clean all the electrodes

Customer reply replied 10 years ago

The electrodes are clean and it made no difference.

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 10 years ago

How many electrodes are there? Two at the front and one at the rear?
