    Worcester bosch greenstar with hive. Not firing on demand

    Tried bypassing the receiver as you described - no luck getting the boiler to fire Tried a new motor on the two port valve no luck. Tried the service overide on the front of boiler and nothing fires up. Small plastic insert on the bosch boiler to click it to max

    mira flight level reviews
