Hi Chaps,
Just wondering if any one can help me identify a problem I have with my boiler?
My Baxi Solo 3 boiler is approx 6 years old.
I had a heating engineer replace the PCB 3 years ago when it kept doing the same overheating as described below.
The boiler works fine and gives hot water and heats the rads fine but keeps cutting out and the overheating light comes on.
When it has cooled down (say 10 mins) you can reset and all is fine again for approx 30 mins, when it overheats again.
The overheating sends very hot water up into the small tank in the loft and then out of the overflow pipe.
The pump appears to be working fine ie I can feel and hear it turning at all times (when boiler is working)
I wonder if the overheat thermostat could be at fault or if I should buy a new £120 and fit it myself!
Any thoughts from you guys would be appreciated.
