please help. I've just returned from an overseas trip yesterday and had the central gas heather turned off for 30 days (switched off at the power + gas inlet valve).
Now when I turn it on, the pilot refuses to stay on. It's an internal (roof space) Brivis Wombat 92 central gas heater (approx 14yrs old).
1. I follow the pilot instructions ... it comes on ... the heater works as expected ... and when it goes for a rest at target temperature ... the subsequent restart is air only (i.e. fan only ... with no flames/heat in the central unit)
2. I try to light the pilot again ... it works .... but goes off as soon as I release the depressed gas knob (tried leaving it depressed from 30secs to almost 5 minutes duration ... but in vain). This is when the EPRL light on the controller flashes non-stop
3. and now I've gone through endless cycles of above two steps everytime I "turn it off ... wait 5 mins ... turn if on" at the mains/power switch.
any assistance would be appreciated .... the wifey is annoyed at the cold Melb weather ... and it's getting painfull for me to keep on making endless trips in the roof cavity simply for few minutes of heating run.
help!!!
