Hi
We have an old gravity fed gas central heating boiler. The hot water works fine, but recently the heating failed to come on. I checked the thermostat which appeared to be sending the correct live signal to the junction box when the stat was turned up. The problem appeared to be with the synchron motor as when I pushed the lever to manual the central heating fired up.
I duly replaced the motor and initially the heating still did not come on. However, after a while it did and has been turning on fine for the last fortnight. However, the same problem has occurred again.
Is this likely to be a second failed synchron motor (can I test it?) or could some this else be causing the problem?
Many thanks
Malcolm
