Heating randomly turns on

[zen1th]

Hi there,


This is my first post here.

I was doing some searching and I came across these posts, and it was similar to some info. I have been given by a work colleague.

I wonder if someone can help me?

My central heating boiler has recently started turning on at various times of day and night, even though control panel has it switched off.

I heard from one person that it might be the anti frost protection setting, but to be honest it has been colder and don't ever think it has come on before - it's only our first year in the house though. Having checked the anti frost thermostat on the boiler, it is set to the lowest setting (frost).

Somebody else mentioned the sticking valve mentioned in this post though, and I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this?

Hope someone can help.

Thank you

It's not a Glow-worm boiler by any chance?

Only, I have posted an issue we are suffering from which sounds the same thing here:

Might be worthing watching mine as well in case someone does make a further suggestion.

Good luck!

Hiya,

No, its a Riello Oil Burner.

Hoping it might have been icy wind that has been blowing past few days - causing the frost protection to kick in.

I did not think it was this at first as it wasnt coming on during all the ice and snow we had up here, but maybe the icy wind caused it to come on.

It did not come on at all last night, so fingers crossed.

Thanks anyhow - will keep an eye on your topic!
