We have a Worchester Combi boiler.( Oil)
At the moment the boiler is not firing, or at least we have no hot water, the "Lock Out" light is red, so as manual i pressed the button for a reset. tried this some 4-5 times, yet we still have a red light, and no hot water.
I'am sure it could be number of things, but any ideas at this point please
 
Sorry didnt see the Lock out on.
It sounds like you are saying that the fan doesnt even come on, if this is the case is there a buzzing noise coming from the burner when you press the lockout button.

Pressing the reset button on the control box, Lock out light goes out, then theres a click then a small green flash, then it buzzes, another click and Lock out light is back on. No other noises.

This morning put a new Photocell in, no change, so its not that. DAM...

So you don't hear the motor running?It's a loud "whooshing" sound,pretty unmistakable. If not it sounds like it's either stuck or kaput.
