You are right Mandate :oops: but the OP said when he has the CH on. In that case we are both agreed the motor still is powered even after the CH is switched off.

The valve in a y-plan does stay powered in the last position selected. Thats why the motors burn out. It's normal. Just don't listen to it and relax. :)

Someone else on here may have the answer . I can only suggest you get the installer back. Either the programmer is faulty or it's not been installed correctly.

you say you have a y plan. That is a fully pumped system. He probably forgot to set the switch when the timer was fitted. Try it, it will probably solve your problem if the system is wired correctly.

You have a fully pumped system. Set the switch to fully pumped.

If the boiler is higher than the tank and using a tigerloop then disconnecting the oil line from the pump will not show a flow of oil. You will only get a flow of oil to the pump if the tank is giving a head of oil over the burner. The wiff of oil is caused by the oil not igniting properly due...

If the boiler locks out when switched on and you are on the spot at that moment you can sometimes get a wiff of oil at the flue or around the burner indicating an ignition problem. It's not scientific but may help.

All i am saying is that i have been given information like this in the past but it is not always dead accurate. It's still down to the technician to sus out the problem with whatever info, experience, skills and test instruments they have available and a quick check of the capacitors value would...

Who said the motor had reached it's run phase ?

Has the motor capacitor been checked ? If this proves ok i would look at the transformer.

Is the circulation pump working

Not familiar with this boiler but from others i have come across doing similar job the only option is to piggy back. Stix.

What happens when you run the tap ? Does the boiler fire up ? Does the pump run ? If neither of these it could be the flow switch, or diverter valve end switch (not sure which of these your boiler has).

Thanks for the reply jj4091. The dryer was out of warranty before the stats first blew so i have changed them myself being careful not to touch the convex face. I see what you mean about air flow. I'll give it a thorough clean out of fluff and try again. Thanks , STIX.

hi folks, hope you can shed some light on my current problem. I have a Hotpoint Aquarius condenser dryer which is not long out of warranty(surprise). The green spot thermostat in the back of the machine has blown twice in quick succession recently so i am wary of replacing again untill i can...

Thanks fellas, i'll put an ordinary bulb in and get it it checked by a qualified spark.

Hi all, my parents house is an old farmhouse with fairly old wiring and an old fuse box with fuse wire type fuses. The stairs light is controlled by two way switching from their bedroom and the bottom of the stairs. Last night the fuse blew when they switched the light on so i called round as i...

have the filters in the oil line been cleaned/replaced recently or ever ?

Hi, just trying to fit one of the above waterheaters . The instructions seem to think everyone knows how to fit them. They mention that it has a PRD and it should have a tundish fitted below it piped to waste. The only tundish i can find is in the BES catalogue and is made of aluminium with a...

The pump may be kaput and your boilers tripped on the overheat stat.
