Boiler 'no flame' cutout with sensible current through flame sensor.

View the thread, titled "Boiler 'no flame' cutout with sensible current through flame sensor." which is posted in Boiler Advice Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

Hi. I have a Chaffoteaux HE 30 which keeps locking out with errors of (mostly) no flame (E04) or (occasionally) flame lift (E18). During the startup cycle a flame is visibly present, and the current through the flame sensor is about 5 - 8 microamps (see pic) until it locks out. Should that not be enough to confirm a flame has been established? The flame sensor itself has recently been replaced, and the burner itself looks fine. Is this likely to be a pcb issue, and is there anything else I could do to test things before paying out for a new one? The problem has been developing over a few weeks. Initially it was only a problem when the boiler was cold, and after a few lockouts it would get its act together and then be fine for the rest of the day. Now its happening all the time!

Needs a gas safe engineer

maybe also due to cost easier to change the boiler depending on factors
