    Ok so this is gonna sound like a really stupid query but our boier wont turn on and not a peep from the thing. Now ive heard that it might be that we need a new fuse, but the only fuse that i know of is connected to the timer and the microwave and washing maching, and all them are working fine.

    Does anyone know if there is another fuse somewhere in boliers?

    May just need a reset and IMO anything other than that get a professional in to check it over.

    there is posibly a spur for the boiler, looks like a light switch with a red neon and a little door about an inch long with fuse written on it. it could be next to the time clock that controls the boiler. if there is one pry open the little door to uncover the fuse and test or replace it.

    Don't let anyone near a gas boiler that isn't RGII registered. Its a criminal offence.
