Further to this: With both stats demanding heat, the "boiler on" light on the boiler, but the boiler not firing: 1) there is 240v at the switched live on the boiler 2) there is 240v at the permanent live on the boiler 3) there is 240v at the pump live on the boiler 4) there is 240v at...

Hi all. The latest on this one. Still haven't got a sparky in yet but in the meantime... With the thermostat on the water tank set to max, and the stat unit removed from the side of the tank so it is hanging free, and with the room thermostat on max, the same problem remains i.e. the boiler...

Yep that is correct. Same again this morning. Heating and water ran until the hot water tank triggered the cylinder thermostat, at which point both the heating and hot water went off even though the room stat was still calling for heat. Raising the cylinder stat past the point where it...

Latest on this: For the last couple of hours, the boiler has been on and the central heating working fine, with the house nice and toasty. I had turned the boiler thermostat to max. When the room temperature reached the required amount, the room thermostat clicked off and the boiler...

I am unfortunately a skill-free zone as far as electricity goes. I'm just keen to find out as much as possible so as not to waste the time of the plumber who I'll be calling in imminently.

OK - some inconclusive results so I hope someone can help a bit further. In the airing cupboard I have 2 Honeywell F8-9804 thingys attached to separate vertical pipes which are joined a bit higher up into one pipe, on which is what I assume is a pump. One of the F8-9804's is on a pipe...

Super advice - will do that this evening. I'll post back the results...

Ah - yes that sounds very possible. Thanks for your reply. So the hot water takes a little while to heat up, and when it does the fault in the 3 way valve thing means that when the hot water is hot enough, the whole boiler shuts off rather than just the hot water circuit closing. So, I'll...

Having done further searches through this forum, this post looks like a similar problem, albeit with a different boiler: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=213443

I hope you can help. I have a boiler that isn't re-firing correctly. I have a Baxi Solo 3 "PFL80" boiler, a Drayton Lifestyle LP722 controller and a Drayton room thermostat. It's currently winter (obviously) so without the heating on, the room temp is much lower than that demanded by the...

Well, Mrs Tobers managed to fix this before having to resort to calling out a man in a van. The problem was that the condenser needed cleaning. The condenser is found by opening a latch which is visible below the door when the door is opened. The condenser was coated in grey gloop. Since it...

Hi all, I've got a Bosch Clasixx Condenser dryer (tumble dryer only - it isn't a combined washer/dryer). It wont finish a full drying cycle. There are 4 "dryness levels": - Drying - Iron Dry - Cupboard Dry - Anti Crease/End It goes through the first three levels but stops before...
