Hello, I've been having some trouble with the central heating in the rented home I've recently moved into. I know it's the landlords responsibility but I was hoping I could fix it myself before calling him.
Boiler - Vokera Compact HE
Thermostat - TR-010X ( T6360A) / Honeywell THR870C
Anyway, it appears that the boiler will cycle on and off for 5 minutes no matter what the thermostat is set at.
Ive attached images of the thermostat, which was installed when I moved in. It had 3 wires attached - brown, blue and green/yellow. I was told elsewhere that the green/yellow wire was fitted for cooling rather than heat, but switching it to the correct position (after switching off the electric supply, of course) made no difference.
I also tried fitting a new digital thermostat - the Honeywell THR870C. I put the brown wire in A , the green/yellow in B and put electrical tape around the blue wire and tucked it away. But I'm still having the same problem. When I turn the thermostat off, the boiler still cycles every 5 minutes and the radiators are hot.
Is there anything else I could look at before calling the landlord?
EDIT: OK. I completely disconnected the thermostat, made sure no wires where touching, and turned the central heating back on. The boiler still fired up and cycled for 5 minutes again.
