Hi All,
Sorry for too much detail below, but I didn't want to leave anything important out.
Around two days ago, my boiler stopped working. I eventually found out that there was no power into the separate controller / timer unit, therefore the boiler would not turn on. I have now replaced the controller (a Landis and Gyr RWB2), with a Siemens RWB29. I have also replaced the fuse in the plug. The plug says 13 Amps, but there was a 3 Amp fuse in the plug previously. I put in a 13 Amp fuse to begin with, but once I switched it on, it tripped the switch at the fuse box. I therefore switched it to a new 3 Amp fuse, and at this point the boiler started working again.
However, the pump within the airing cupboard was running extremely hot (much hotter than the pipes feeding the water in), and also making a humming noise.
I left the hot water and central heating on for a while, but I have now seen that there is again no power to the controller - my assumption is that the fuse has blown again, but I haven't checked that yet.
Any idea what could be causing this? I have an Ideal Mexico CF 100 if that makes a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
