My boiler install was finished yesterday and after testing and checking heating hot water worked etc the plumber turned the switches on the programmer to off but I could still hear the boiler running I said is that normal and he said yea will take a moment to shut down. 10 minutes later it is still going.
He was pretty much out the door by this time saying switch it off by the mains switch and try it again in a hour. Same thing happened boiler turned on by the mains both switches on programmer set to off but the boiler fires up anyway heating the hot water.
It was late and I couldn't be bothered to check further last night so have started this morning. The central heating runs exactly as it should if the switch is on constant but the thermostat not turned high enough it does not come on. If I turn the thermostat high enough it comes on, if I turn the heating off on the programmer with the switch it goes off.
The hot water though stays on regardless if the switch is off or on. As most of the wiring is the same the only new thing put in was a wireless thermostat for the heating I am guessing a pump or valve has not failed? Everything points to a wiring error I think? I am quite competent to check electrical stuff but would like some advice before I start on where the problem maybe. The boiler is a vaillant 418
