Hi,
My first post on the forum, hoping for some help! I have a Baxi Solo 3 PFL 70 that recently has started overheating regularly. When I say regularly, it tends to happen once or twice a day.
I've replaced the overheat stat and the PCB recently but the problem persists. One perhaps quite significant thing to note is that I had a Hive system installed recently. I didn't install the system myself, but from observation can see that the system is set up so that when the desired temp has been reached it cuts the power to the boiler.
My understanding is that the boiler pump is supposed to overrun to carry on circulating after it stops heating so that it doesn't overheat. My question is, with this Hive system cutting power completely to the boiler, does it prevent the boiler being able to carry on running the pump to prevent overheating? Is this the normal setup for this kind of system. It should be noted it was installed by a qualified electrician.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harry
