Hi, Hope someone can help.
I have had the above boiler for 5 years.
On Thursday night I put the heating part on for first time in 4 months.
After a while I noticed only the first rads in the line had got warm and when I checked the boiler it was not running even though there was demand (It had not gone to Lockout). I tried tuning up both HW and CH thermostats but still boiler would not even try and fireup, no pump noise or anything. I did notice however that the boiler seemed quite hot inside but this is maybe right?
The follwing day after a bit of reading I pressed the reset button under the electrical panel, NOT the lockout button on the burner.
Hey Presto boiler fired up and we had HW and CH.
However this morning Saturday no HW again and when I checked the boiler there was no power light on, checked fuse in plug that was OK but the 250v 3.15 A on the electrical control box had blown.
I changed this fuse and power light comes on but as soon as you switch the HW or CH to come on the boiler goes to start but the fuse blows agian within 1/2 a secon after switching it on.
1)If anyone has any ideas on whats causing the fuse to blow I would be grateful ?
The only part that has been re[laced on this boiler from new is the small motor for the 3 way valve.
