    Hi there,

    My heating went yesterday topped up with oil today.

    Bled the burner, didn't start at first..I noticed when i moved the electrical junction box the fan came to life and it fired.

    Power went then with the 3 amp fuse blown in the kitchen beside heating controls.

    I isolated the pump same problem no power. Isolated the stat on boiler and this time I have power to the heating controls but not it seems to the burner.

    I had a spare stat and went ahead and replaced it but still same issue.


    Any suggestions to what the problem is from info above?

    Thanks
