Hi. Serious problems... Two days ago I found my RCD trippe din the CU of my power supply. Trial & error reveals that whenever my boiler comes on the RCD trips in the mains and we lose all the power on the RCD...
Looking at the boiler, some bright spark has installed the pump directly above the boiler and the connection to the pump has been leaking onto the boiler and running down the side. Eventually into the circuts at the bottom...
So I put a funnel uner it till I can get the isolating value off & replace it. Meanwhile trying to dry out the unit to get it to work...
After two days of drying it out, the damn thing still trips the RCD. Even when I set the thermostat on the front to 0. Meanwhile I have no heating or hot water...
I tried a hair dryer, but no luck so far... Is it dead? Where should I look for a short? I can't belive after 2 days there's still enough moisture in there to trip the RCD... (i.e. where's the best place to direct the dryer to try & get it to light. presumably when it's running it'll dry out 100% in no time at all... If it is the moisture doing it & not a busted boiler).
(Or could it be the pump busted?)
Meanwhile getting a plumber out seems impossible... Grr! Why don't they ever want to come out? You wait hours for them to not turn up when they've promised... And no explanation why...
TIA
Hamish.
