Mend Working Light Hear

glow worm ultimate sparking but not igniting?

my glow worm ultimate was working fine but now does not light. I can hear the fan start up and can see the spark, keeps sparking but is not igniting. I know I have a working gas supply as my gas cooker still works. Any ideas as to cause and remedy?

More than likely it is a blocked pilot injector, these seem prone to blocking when they get over 8 years old. The pilot assembly and tube has to be disconnected and the two tiny holes in the pilot injector need to be unblocked with a small peice of wire or needle.

Thanks, turned out to be failed coils on gas valve. The valve itself is OK. All fixed now thanks.
