Sorry my fault I meant CH, the valve is on the CH

The boiler fires the valve on the HW doesn't open

So some more info. A boiler guy came round yesterday and diagnosed the problem as a PCB, we've subsequently worked out there isn't a PCB. Now what are peoples thoughts? I was thinking about the pump overrun thermostat, I wasn't sure because how would it fire up the boiler. I am wondering if it's...

I disconnected it electrically by simply taking the wires out of the junction box.

Hi everyone, so I've tried something for fault diagnostic purposes. I electrically disconnected the motorised valve and used the manual override. Still have the same fault, so I'm thinking (happy to be wrong) that with the valve disconnected and the controller replaced, it rules out external...

So some explanation may help: Hive left cable permanent live and neutral, right cable HW on and CH on Junction box: Bottom left furthest left HW on and CH on, inner left permanent live and neutral. Top left hot water tank Top right mechanical valve Bottom right go to the boiler.

As promised

I'll provide photos in the morning. My main concern is what has failed to cause the problem I have.

So here you go. Top of boiler pipe work. I have a junction box, the controls (formally the switchmaster now hive) are wired into it. Live and neutral wired to the junction box via the controller Motorised valve to the junction box, junction box to the boiler. There is also a wire from the...

Roger, but I don't think the moterised valve activates the heating. Rather it shuts off the heating when it's set to HW only.

Dual channel, set up for gravity-fed system.

I've attached a video so you can hear the noise it makes sometimes.

Thank you both for taking to time to reply, unfortunately I don't think it's either of those suggestions. The fault dirs not sound like something that is meant to happen and happens regardless of the temperature. It happened last night when the house was 19 degrees. The motorised valve is...

Hi all I posted a few days ago with what I thought was a confroller problem. With some advise from someone on here I changed my old switchmaster for a hive mini. The hive is working fine but it hasn't fixed the original problem. My Potterton prima boiler fires up randomly when the heating/hot...
