Chaffoteaux Britony 2T water heater ignition and pilot light issue
Posted by Darren Ephraim, on
Hi,
In Feb 2019 through Rated People I had a repair on the following:
Fitted the following parts (already purchased) for a Chaffoteaux Britony 2T water heater:
Electrode with lead
Water heater diaphragm
Thermocouple
The water heater is again causing issues where the pilot light keeps going out and I have to try the ignition 20/ 30 times to get it to stay lit.
Sometimes I can also smell a little gas when it hasn't lit up. I guess that happens when it's trying to ignite the gas and fails many times.
Possible fixes:
Same replacement parts as before
New ignition unit
Dirty/ blocked injector or wrong injector
Blocked pilot head
Faulty pilot tube
New case seal/ gasket after fitting
Can somebody please advise?
Many thanks,
Darren
