Hi folks
The boiler is a Glow worm Micron 60FF and is about 8 years old, it recently had a service with thermistor replacement.
Since then, the boiler has twice stopped working (after successfully heating radiators) and displayed the green reset light. The first time it happened was a few weeks after the service, the second time was this week.
It's hardly any trouble as I just need to turn the boiler control to 0 and then back to the previous setting. The pump continues to run, the only sign of a failure is the lack of radiator heat.
The manual says a solid reset light is due to overheating but I'm curious as this has never happened before. Could it be related to the new thermistor or might it be something else? I did some research and have found comments about faulty PCBs and thermistors on this model and other Glow Worm models.
I've turned the temperature dial on the boiler down, to about 3/4 and all appears to be fine, for now...
FYI, the pump and Y-valve in the airing cupboard are about a year old. The boiler flue fan was replaced a few months ago.
Thanks
