My boiler is a worcester 24i rsf.l combi, and to turn the water or the heater on, is doesnt start the ignition.Everything seems to be ok ,even the red light is on and the water pressure is ok, but it doesnt ignition. Do I have to reinitiate ? how? I dont see any clicks or buttons for that purpose.I switched off/on ,I unplugged it, but nothing happens. Ah! and my house is getting really cold!!!! Thanks.

I have a Worcester 24i RSF-L Combi boiler and my flat mate switch it off yesterday. When I switch in on today it is not working and there is no hot water and central heating not working either.
What can I do???

Sorry I added a question above by mistake

Please can you help me. I've got a Baxi Solo 2 80 PF and it sometimes works OK. When it doesn't work the "boiler on" light comes on and so does the fan light for about 1 second. The fan spins; I can hear it and see it through the rear vent. After 1 second (ish) the fan cycles on/off. However the pilot and hence main burner will not light. If I tap the bottom of the casing by what looks like the main control board it sometimes lights. Any thoughts on what this can be (could it be a poor solder joint on control board or sticking relay/contacts)?

It may have tripped. Have you tried pushing the reset button on the top of the boiler left hand side? This has worked for me in the past.

Sounds like same problem I had - turned out to be broken fan

Hi Danny, the ignition on your boiler is automatic I would suggest you contact a regisered engieer and have the boiler checked over.
