    Hello @Heeltee,
    You have to figure out what device or safety limit or lack of fuel is shutting it down. Sometimes a Multi-meter will help, sometimes just the trained eye of experience is all that is needed.

    Even if we knew what boiler you have, we don't, it still is a check this or check that situation.

    Your post is way too vague. It’s like saying my vehicle won’t run, but not providing any specifics: is it a car or a truck, gas or diesel, does it crank over or is the battery dead, etc?

    Posting some pics and giving as many specifics as possible would help.

    Is it gas or oil fired? Steam or Hot water? If it’s gas hot water, is it an atmospheric/cast iron or a mod/con?

    Again, some good pics would help and probably answer some of these questions.

    Obviously not!

    Some safety is shutting it down. Follow the wiring diagram with a meter or call your service provider!

    The lack of information in some posts is quite impressive. It's like we have x ray vision.
