NO Central Heating

[louises]

Can anyone help, as I have a combi boiler and my pilot light does not stay a light for no more than 1 minute on my central heating. It is fine on hot water side.

There should be a little copper wire that sits in the pilot light flame, it senses the flame so that if the flame is absent- the gas cuts off, this is called a thermo coupling. Make sure that it is actually sitting in the small flame thus telling the gas to stay on.

You really must call out a corgi registered gas engineer, whatever the problem is. It could be a number of things and it would be extremely dangerous to touch it yourself.

Are you sure you have a pilot light ? Do you mean burners ? If it's a combi it more than likely has no pilot light, just fires up when needed. You sure the heating thermostat is set high enough to be 'asking' for heat ? Is the pump running for the first minute ?
