Hi Stepperdoc, if it is clicking the 12V electrics’ to the heater seems to be working, check that there is a supply of gas getting to the heater (gas shut off valve for water heater is open), if using Butane and ambient temperature is low(around Zero) Butane will not work. Possibly burner, damp or needs cleaned, gas can take 30seconds or longer to feed the heater when first connected, the green light illuminated and no clicking,is a bit confusing as that usually indicates that all is working as it should, but with no gas ignition I would have thought you would have the yellow and red illuminated, sorry not of more help, Garry is the man you need, he should be along shortly to help, as will the other members on here that have had a similar problem.
-------------
If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.

As said, not at all connected to the mains electric problem, each system being totally independent of each other.
What I suspect is the gas valve has stuck down and this has overloaded and blown the 1A fuse inside the burner module. The 12v goes to the switch first so that's why the green led is lit, however 12v can only go as far as the blown fuse so no action therefore no signal back from the module, hence no red fail light signal back to the switch.
In any event, I overhaul burner modules and have been since 1997, so no need to spend anywhere near £146.
More importantly, with so much experience I can happily give a full 12 month warranty, this means 'if' it goes wrong, I'll repair or replace it, that's more than you get anywhere else, even new! and at any price!!
