pump wont stop running

[balders2]

Hi, I have noticed that my water pump doesnt stop running. The only way I can get it to stop is by turning hot water off. I normally leave my hot water on all the time and have noticed in the runs all the time even if the boiler isnt running. Any suggestion what I should replace first!!!! Thanks Dawn

do you have one of these

Does that mean that your hot water is getting a lot hotter than it did before? Could be a problem with the thermostat on the hot water cylinder. Does the pump stop if you turn the thermostat way down?

If the above were on the right lines you probably would have noticed that the boiler's on a lot when it shouldn't be, too.
Could be you need one of these

It's behind the knob.
Turn off at mains, pull red wire of the thing I've pictured and insulate it.
If problem fixed, you need a new one of the above. Follow the link(right click, Properties).
