how can I fix my sime friendly format 100e?

The heating seems to work ok but can go off intermittantly but the hot water goes cold for no reason & we have to relight the pilot or turn off the water & turn the heating on & off at the controller to get it going again.
Any ideas?.

Thanks

hi woody is right , but if you are a good diy then you can mend it your self the problem is on the circiut board that woody pointed out ,if you get a good eye glass and loook at all the solder peak on the board you will fined alot of cracked [dry joints] if you are good at useing a small soldering iron then re do the joints and all will be back to normal it took me 18 month to find this comon fault, or get someone to check it out for you to get the board out is easy ie 1 long srcew which holds it in then remove the board from the plastic case,this is abit tricky but can be done,or buy a new board at £78.00i repaired mine.bob rob ! turn off the gas and elect saftey first yes!

it sounds like by your discription that, the problem is with your ignition box,these are colour coded ,remove the front cover ,you can see the ignition box note the colour it is either going to be all blue or a two tone colour they cost around £70,upwards try european spares.com good luck "woody"
