Hi, we bought a house that had not been used for a couple of years, the boiler was not working, so we replaced a few parts on it and tried to get it working again. details are:
Baxi Solo powered flue
WM 50/4 PF
s/n 008953
GC 41-077-44
Cat 1N
Hot water tank in loft
Honeywell electronic timer (all 7 days the same, with 3 sliders, unsure of model)
Honeywell dial thermostat
Problem:
The heating works fine at the moment, I have it set to come on twice a day for an hour
The hot water is another story....if I turn the hot water on, it works and heats the tank, but after 30 minutes it starts to heat the radiators too, even with the heating turned off - surely this isnt normal?
Also, once the Honeywell unit is turned ON for the hot water, even when i turn it OFF again, the boiler wont turn off, it just keeps heating and heating, until I cut the main power to it and reset the Honeywell timer. The red light turns off on the timer unit, but the boiler keeps going - this shouldnt be normal?
It's had a new diverter valve in the loft anyway when we bought the house. I very much suspect its a wireing issue as it is a mess and a lot of guesswork looks to have gone on.
I have had a look over the wireing diagrams but have hit a brick wall. Unsure if a plumber or electrician would be the best person to fix it?
Any input would be recomeneded
thanks
Martyn
