turned on the fire today turned on the thermostat the green light actually came on for about 3 seconds?? Then went out??
Sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere, I would agree you need an electrician or someone familiar with these heaters to track down the problem.

I have read all the posts, twice even. There are lots of "connections" on a PCB, and lots of components. Any one of them may have failed , or there be a poor solder joint. The fact it came on briefly could point to a connection that sometimes works but mainly does not.
A couple of possibilities re troublesome components have already been suggested, have you checked those out?
i would think most of us are "out of our depth" here, yourself included, so if you want to be able to use this heater it would seem the sensible thing now is to get expert help.
I am all for attempting most things myself and saving money, but there does sometimes come a time when it is necessary to bite the bullet and admit defeat.

Your easiest way forwards is now by substitution, probably starting with the PCB. Unfortunately you would need to know a very friendly dealer in order to borrow a known good one! At least you could remove the PCB and check all the soldered joints, especially
around the transformer. IF competent, you could fault find 'live' the traditional way, but I cannot advocate this on a mains appliance0 -
ok my electrical tester turned up in the post today so ive checked the 240v mains going to the fire (pcb) and all fine so it must be the pcb right ?

Yes, From your description of the fault the PCB needs replacing, straight forward job providing you have good access to the board, if you have to remove the heater to access, then the the job requires knowledge of the prodcedures for removing and reinstalling
that particular appliance.0
