I ignite it properly and pilot light swithes on. We get hot water for about 30 secs then it cuts out completely. This also happens when put on central heating. Could anyone please help.
Several things. Does the fan start. If the fan starts it could be the paddle switch. It could also be the burner box lining fallen on to the burner bar

Can you hear the fan running. If the bearings are old the fan speed is slow, and this will kill the gas valve as it senses how hot and also CO level witin the chamber
