PUMP RUNNING ALL THE TIME

[vantheman]

HI IVE GOT A SUPREMA 50 CONVTL SYSTEM & ITS BEEN LOCKING OUT. IVE READ MESSAGES & TOOK THE PCB OFF & NOTICED CRACKS ROUND THE JOINTS SO IM GOING TO RE-SOLDER THEM. BUT IM JUST WONDERING WHY WOULD THE PUMP BE CONTINUALLY RUNNING WHEN THE HEATING/WATER IS NOT ON. (THIS WAS BEFORE I TOOK THE PCB OUT). THE PUMP IS A MYSON COMPACT. THANKS ALOT, APPRECHIATE ANY REPLYS.

==============================
please note forum rule 6

probably because the pump overrun on the pcb is sticking on.

Looks more like a problem with the caps-lock key stuck on.

You do mean continually on, not just running on for 20 minutes I presume

- pump relay contacts welded in the open position on the PCB

I have had the same problem !!
Simple - the installers had wired the combi up wrong.......
After they double checked it all they realised their fault.
The pump was on all time, even when central heating was off.

How the hell could anyone wire a combi wrong to cause the pump to continually run.?

Special CORGI course?

Gasman 1015, perhaps you have been "celebrating" some football thing?

When you are sober you might realise that a Suprime is NOT a combi ?

And you Tony have obviously been drinking too much and it has impaired your brain....
