How do you reignite an Ideal Classic LXFF & FF Fanned flue gas boiler?

Matthew Wilde - you are a legend. I turned my thermostat down and my pilot light reignited.

Thank You! I hope you see this.

I had the same problem, at the start of the Christmas period, and only found 'contact an engineer' answers online. But when telling a relative about my woes (between phone calls to engineers), she mentioned someone with a similar problem - which an engineer had diagnosed as being caused by turning up the house central heating thermostat! Apparently, this can cause a pressure build-up of some kind - and I have no idea at all what kind - that the boiler can't cope with. As I had recently turned my thermostat up a lot, in a cold snap, I turned it down. Then I again tried to restart the boiler, as per the instructions - and it worked!

If the noise sounds like a normal one it maybe that your fan is running but the air pressure switch is not detecting that it's running.
This could be caused by numerous faults.
1:Faulty air pressure switch.
2:damaged or blocked tubes to the air pressure switch.
3:Faulty circuit board not receiving correct messages from air pressure switch.
Either way you will need to call out a corgi reg engineer unfortunatly.
Sorry can't help any more.

if its a loud droning noise then the fan has stuck
a c.o.r.g.i engineer needs to fix it as their are issues with the case integrity on classics
