Energysaver 40e, Q, what is wrong it lights up and runs and before the water or rads are hot the boiler cuts out and I need to power down and power it back up and most times it runs 20 to 30 minets and shutdown again.

Hi , hope this helps, but as Q. dated Nov 26, i guess you have got it fixed by now!!

We have the 50 model, which i guess is the same beasty, but larger output. The air pressure switch went on ours--same symptoms as yours. Its inside the case, top right. 2 tubes to it.Easy to replace. About £20.
Also check if lot of condensation in tank(red cap under boiler) Boiler will not come on if this full or condensate waiste tube blocked.Also ignition probe can break-result-no spark.
