Ah that's great, thank you.

Ooops, almost forgot, for the record attached is the pic of the Danfoss wiring.

That's great guys - thanks for all the info. Yes I do have a 3 way valve and yes it is a solar charger (I live on a canal boat and have both 12v and 240v) All looks good but am not sure what I do about the existing thermostat (I've posted pics of it (sorry about blurred one)). I thought I could...

I thought it wouldn't be that simple. It's a pj bubble pressure jet oil fired boiler with a Satronic Honeywell DKG 972 control box on top (I think thats the model number) The Danfoss Randall controller and wiring pic to the controller should be below (if I get the upload correct!)

Hi all, wanting to fit Hive to my boiler but have the usual wiring compatibility issues - In short my existing controller has wires connected to N L 1 3 4 (but not 2) (there is no 5) I am hoping to get the dual Hive controller but am not sure if I have enough wires to make it work. Anyone know...

Wow, you really know your stuff - for the record its 240v from shore power. Anyway, good news, I took your earlier advice about the solenoid and fitted it today, wehe, it worked from the off. Ran it an hour for hot water then left it a couple of hours before running it again for the radiators...

Ok, have narrowed it down (I think) - when burner does first cycle then stops it either locks out or on it will fire up a second time but only for about 5 seconds then stall and lock out ( or try a third time for 5 seconds then lock out) - if i reset at the wall socket the burner turns over and...

this is the solonoid and lead - will try to work out how to test it. https://heatingpartswarehouse.co.uk/product/danfoss-bfp-oil-pump-coil-230v-071n0051/ https://heatingpartswarehouse.co.uk/product/danfoss-solenoid-lead-071g0204/?gclid=CKiGzd2R2OICFdX2UQodGJ8POQ...

It's a PJ bubble pressure jet boiler (fitted onto a boat) so not a common household type - the red light is basic with no fault codes (satronic dko 992 pcb board). I'll try and look in to the solenoid if i get a chance at the weekend - would it still fire up after reset if it was faulty...

One final thing Oilhead, on closer inspection the boiler does a perfect burn but on shutting down the burner stops and the fan/motor continues briefly but then there is a little click from the boiler which stops it followed by a louder click from the control box which seems to lock it out, hence...

OK, thank you for your help.

It's a Danfoss motorised zone valve - I'm not sure if it is relevant to the problem but when it is inbetween firing (when it no longer tries to fire up) the valve makes a humming noise and gets quite hot ? If this could be relevant to it not trying to fire I'll change it out, or would it do...

sorry, when i say humming it it coming from the valve 'switch' on the side that opens for hot water or radiators, The boiler itself is silent as such it just doesnt trry to fire even if it has just done a perfect cycle ( the thermostat in the room works perfectly and is still on (flame image...

Hi all, my presssure jet heater is playing up - in short, it won't fire up unless i hit the reset button or reset by turning it off altogether - then it either fires and runs once or it runs fine for several cycles (until radiator/room temp reached) but then when needed again will only hum and...

Thank you - away for a few days but will do that when back.
