Baxi solo 2 overheat

[vjn]

HI, during the summer I fitted a new 3 way valve - all was ok (apart from some air noise at the boiler). Now the heating season is upon us I am getting intermittent overheating of the boiler. Seems to be when I have heating and hot water called. Any suggestions please ??

Check the pump is running and has no air trapped in it (loosen the centre screw to release trapped air) are the Radiators all getting hot? if not could be trapped air in the system if none of theese its time to get a RGI to check the boiler over!

the pump has been working fine, right up to tonight. Now very hot and not working. have taken air from the pump so will let it all cool then try again. It may be the pump now but up until tonight the pump was fine

Check the FAQ about spinning the pump if its seized.

Was the water dirty when you replaced the valve?

I like the Indian customers who tell me the boiler is "brand new" and was only installed six years ago!

Is the pump overun working ok,,Is the tank dry in the loft,, blocked feed pipe to heating,, just a few more things to check

check the pump and vent all air vents/rads in the system. make sure boiler stats is not set too high and also check water level in system is correct (vent highest rads and see if water squirts out) - does the boiler overheat after a certain time?
