Hello guys,
I have a Worcester heatslave 19/25. When the hot water is flowing enough to operate the flow switch and fire up the boiler, but flowing slowly enough to make the water get hotter till eventually the thermostat should cut off the boiler until the water has cooled enough to allow it to fire up again, it doesn't cut off whilst the water is flowing, until it reaches the limit stat shut off, which then needs to be reset. During normal use (when the tap is turned on to a higher flow rate) there is no problem, but if the bath is run slowly for 10 minutes, say, the water gets hotter and hotter until eventually the limit stat will shut it all off. The hot water thermostat on the front of the boiler works OK whilst no water is flowing in that it turns the boiler on if you adjust it up, then it stops when it's reached the set temp. I assume there must be another thermostat somewhere, that's overrides the flow switch?
