First of all the washing machine has its own inbuilt heater so the hot water in that can be discounted, it will create its own.
Does the boiler show a f1 or similar fault? check the bar pressure as the boiler will not fire below 0.5 bar if its below refill from the link pipe.
check out my fixed under heading jaguar boiler showing f1.

may be the fan sticking or the aps not working. but if it sparks ok the gas valve may need replacing or the pcb

doesnt look like it.
its always been difficult to see as it has a tiny view-hole on the front.
however,
it came on last night briefly after doing the same non-working all day yesterday, only stayed on about 10 mins tho and hasn't come on since
