Discuss Baxi solo Pilot light stays on in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Which Solo?
Does it light for either heating or hot water?I'm. Just qualified as gas safe. It is a baxi solo manual ignition pilot light. Room seal flue. I'm not the best with multi meters.. the thermostat doesn't do anything when the pilot light is on.
Have you turned the Gas Valve knob to the right place after you lit the pilot flame?I'm. Just qualified as gas safe. It is a baxi solo manual ignition pilot light. Room seal flue. I'm not the best with multi meters.. the thermostat doesn't do anything when the pilot light is on.
No not if it's a grey knob Honeywell. There are a few Baxi Solo Boilers. There are different Gas Valves too. That's why I asked which Solo. Some of the Gas valves have a pilot and main burner position so you would light the pilot and then turn the knob to main flame. If it's the Honeywell Grey knob, turning it will put the pilot out.Grey knob button that you turn and push in while press the ignition button?
Unless the grey push button hasn’t extended out properly. Had a few do that before.I the pilot is lit and the system is calling for heat (so you'd expect it to light the Boiler), you need to test the valve with a multi-meter.
Was it a 240V valve or don't you know?
Go for something simple to begin with. With one dial and not that many settings until more experienced mate. But I have an all singing and dancing 6 year old fluke.I didn't test it. There was no click sound from the thermostat when I rotated it around. Old boiler I've not had much experience in them. I'm planning to buy a multimeter any recommendations? I don't want to spend too much? Have you seen the automatic multimeters any good?
Wouldn’t watch you tube. Book yourself on a mornings course somewhere. It will make a massive difference. Or speak to your employer.Most fault finding with boilers are tested with multimeters. I've never been show either in college only few and between if there lucky to get training from there boss or learn yourself through you tube channels.
Good point, that does happen too.Unless the grey push button hasn’t extended out properly. Had a few do that before.
If you plan on sticking at this game I would recommend the Fluke 116. It's damned expensive but perfect for the job and easy to use. There are many others that will do and over the years I have had lots of them from £10 to this one which was £140.I didn't test it.

If it breaks I will not hesitate to buy another.
Great Minds !!That’s what I have

What's self thought?Baxi do a one day multimeter course , no idea where your closest one would be.
Most of my multimeter training was self thought , we hardy covered it in college.
What's self thought?
Is it like using the force?
"May the force be with you Townfanjon". Doesn't sound very star wars ish does it?

The company I work for don't care they think because I hold a gas ticket I should be able to fault find and be able to use a multimeter. This is like another trade on its own if you've never had the experience all I've ever did was install new boilers. I did the Worcester training day for 1 day even then you need more days
I'll try but it's a trade on its own personally speaking. It's an expensive trade if you get it wrong. Cheers for your advise
