Possible Causes

Weak spark from ignition electrode, Incorrect electrode gap, Low gas pressure, Faulty gas valve coil

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply, ventilate the area, and call a gas-safe technician immediately.

  • Observe ignition attempt: Through the inspection window (if present), see if a spark is visible when the fan runs. No spark suggests an ignition issue.
  • Check gas supply: Confirm other gas appliances work. If not, contact your gas supplier.
  • Reset once: Reset the boiler and see if it lights. Do not keep resetting if it fails repeatedly.
  • Professional service: A technician should test the ignition electrode, leads, and gas valve, and verify gas pressure at the ACV boiler.
