i have a vokera maxin 24e works fine during summer but once the boiler gets really cold in winter- it locks out on first use in morning--on resetting it will work fine all day-cme april -may it will work fine again--thinking of fitting a 60 watt heater in boiler cupboard for winter use--anybody any ideas--
hi iain last 2 mornings i put a small fan heater in the boiler cupboard left it on for 5 minutes. the boiler has fired up ok--several people on our estate have the same problem-- they leave their heating all night- i think i will go for the tubular heater and see what happens many thanks for your reply and time regards john

they have a flame rec probe on very far burner run and for some reason, they dont light up properly on edge of burner and generally is a first thing in the morning problem. you can unscrew the probe and spin it so it points to row 2 instead which generally works. maybe burner needs a clean out or suffers from slight condensation or something. dont know but know that spinning sensor works
