Heatrae Sadia Megaflow Boiler - keeps turning off

[vic m]

Help!!!

My heatrae sadia megaflow boiler keeps turning itself off and constantly needs resetting. Which is easy enough but after phoning megaflow they state that this will only work for a short time and soon the reset button will become useless.

The recommended megaflow company will come to look at it for a mere £75 call out fee + labour + parts + vat !!!! I know next to nothing about DIY and could easily get ripped off.

Can anybody help?? Once rest the boiler works fine for anything between 1-5 days before it turns off and needs reseting so I'm assuming its nothing too major. Please help!!!!!!!

or

model number is dd210. Also should mention its electric not gas. And apparently out of guarante.

Then it isn't a boiler at all, it's an Unvented hot water cylinder.

You need to be licensed to work on them.
It probably needs a new thermostat.

Which you could fit yourself, but will be expensive. If you have two heaters, you could try swapping stats. (All highly illegal of course, but then I doubt if your cylinder was installed legally anyway, most aren't).

Just wondering if you had any joy sorting your heating system when the hot water was tripping - this is happening to our system at the moment and we don't know what to do.
