Hi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time.
Can you turn off the power to the boiler and put your ear against the case and tell me if you hear a click when you run the hot tap?

Customer reply replied 10 years ago

Sorry Andrew, just got back home and read your mail, checked NO CLICK

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 10 years ago

It sounds like the water flow is not enough, or the water flow switch is now defective. Can you try running two taps at once and see if it fires?

Customer reply replied 10 years ago

Hi Andrew

We tried two taps together but still did not fire up, central heating is fine, As I said before, all I have done is

1. Turn water off by tap outside in road

2. Turn electric off from main circuit board

This was done to replace kitchen sink taps, that was it, everything was working perfectly before I did this

With no click there is something wrong with the water flow switch, you will need someone to look at this for you.
