Hello to you all
can anyone help me with a problem on the boiler,
It stays alight on the pilot no problem,but when the heating comes on it goes to full flame for 10-15 seconds then goes back to the pilot,then after 20-30 seconds it does it again,and will keep doing it until it is switched off.
any ideas or solutions
thank you

As Corgi said but one simple test you can do is check from the outside that your flue is not blocked or restricted, leaves even cob webs. i found a squirrel dead ,with its foot trapped in the guard once .

Hi Broon,

I've got the same problem as you had before. I was wondering if you could let me know what exactly did you do to get that sorted.

Cheers

Jem

jemis i suggest you post again, starting a new topic, stating your problem in full, broon doesn't post that often last post by broon was in march

Thanks for your reply Breezer,

The problem is that the boiler's fan starts working every 1.5 to 2 min. for 15 to 20 sec. even if the thermostate and the controller are switched off.
It seems that the only way of stop it is switch off the main.

Regards

Jem

Have you sorted the problem yet?

I think that's a faulty pump overrun thermostat. Try a Search.
