I’m having the following issue with my boiler pump:
after the hot water and heating “clock off” from their programmed stop times the pump randomly continues to run on.
There is no pattern to this that I can establish sometimes it’s only the Hot Water sometimes only the central heating, sometimes the issue doesn’t occur at all.
Where I have the central heating programmed to start After the hot water has passed it’s off setting (early morning setting) the pump just keeps running stopping the Central Heating ON time to operate ... the only solution is to have the reset button on the boiler pressed in for a few seconds which stops (with a slight flowing/rushing water sound) the pump which has been running continuously from the end of the Hot Water off time.
The consequence being waking to warm water but a cold house.
To add, the warning on the boiler (Potterton Suprima 80HE) has either a solid red or flashing red indicator
‘Solid red’ - System Wiring Fault.
‘Flashing Red’ - Lockout.
However I’ve noticed the occurrence of both warnings but mainly the flashing.
Could the sound of rushing water I’m hearing upon pressing the reset button which stops the pump, be indicative of anything - air in the system perhaps ??
Hoping someone will have experience of such a problem and offer some pointers...
Many thanks.
