Hi all,
I recently had my cylinder moved from one side of the room to the other, but was surprised that the plumber who quoted for the job when leaving said "I've hard wired it so you can use the valve manually for your heating until you get an electrician to complete the job"
Nothing was said about this when I enquired about the work being done.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, he left me with a wiring diagram and I had somebody rewire according to the diagram, but cannot get the central heating to kick in?
There is the cyclinder stat, the automatic valve, the control box next to the boiler, a room stat, and another red/black wire (power?), and a capacitor.
I have a picture that I have drawn below, but am not sure which is the room stat and which is the controller.
If i remove the capacitor and put on the water, the heating will come on with the valve switched to manual, but this is the only way I can get the house to heat up.
I have tried replacing the room stat, no change there.
Can anybody shed any light on why the heating will not fire up? is there a wire in the wrong place?
Sorry if this is confusing but it was the best I could draw. I have removed earth from the drawing to clear it up a bit, obviously they all lead to the same point.
TIA
