I was stripping some wallpaper from around the thermostat, and when I had finished, realised there was no heating.
Thermostat clicked on and off but wasn't firing up the boiler.
I figure there may be some bits of dust/paper/debris blocking it up, so remove the front cover, but all seems fine ( the 'click' is a tiny bit duller than it was ).
Voltage on Live is 240, voltage on Neutral is 0. These voltages remain the same even after the thermostat has been 'clicked' over?
The thermostat is by Danfoss ( I think it is a RMT-230 ).
I go out and buy a new one anyway - a Wicks one for a tenner.
I turn the power off to the boiler, take off the old thermostat, put the new one in it's place, wire it up as instructions say, and switch the power back on to the boiler.
As soon as I 'click' the thermostat over to fire up the boiler...the boiler control panel dies.
I go to the boiler cupboard, check the fuse - it's blown.
Does anyone have ANY idea what the problem could be?
Was it the thermostat in the first place?
