Ferroli Domina F24E boiler, stops (block) after couple of seconds...

Hi everyone and thanks for any input in advance.

I have a Ferroli Domina F24E boiler that stops (block) after couple of seconds...

I didn't open the combustion chamber because I don't know whether it is safe or not but from its cover's small window I can see a blue flame before the block.

In the manual there is written to check the following:

1) gas input
I have seen the flame so I guess it is OK

2) air in the pipes
I let air out of the radiators and reset pressure between 1 ,5 and 2

3) electrodes
I would like to check them but do you think I can safely turn the boiler on with the combustion chamber open?

You are asking about a boiler that I don't believe is sold in the USA. So I wonder why your profile indicates that your location is in IOWA , US ?

The majority of ppl that visit this website are US based and probably do not have experience with European made heating products.

One of the most common problems with any gas fired heating appliance with the symptom you describe is a dirty flame sensor. These sensors are usually a rod which is enveloped by the flame. Often removal & cleaning with a Scotch Brite pad will cure the problem.

Doh, didnt realize those were US states. I was actually looking for IT but it was not there.
Thanks for the tip Grady. I think what you describe there is what the manual calls electrod.
I will open all the windows and the combustion chamber & hope for the best.

Sorry for the non US intrusion.

I looked at some parts diagrams & it appears there are two rods. The one with a simple 90* bend would appear to be the flame sensing rod.

No apology needed! I just wanted you to know that we might not know your equipment. We're happy to help anyone if we are able...

And Grady is able! (as usual!)

Nein, es ist nicht Deutsch, è Italiano.

If that sounds like Greek to you, it's because it is!

The manual is in English! Hooray!

I believe it's item #82 on page 8.
