Hey guys, I've been trying to diagnose and fix a problem with a heating system and am pretty much out of ideas!
It's a standard Y-Plan,
Glowworm Flexicom 30sx condensing boiler (fitted in the summer)
Drayton room stat (RTS1 newly replaced)
Honeywell cylinder stat (L641A newly replaced)
Danfoss Programmer (FP715Si newly replaced)
Honeywell Mid Position Valve (V4073A - newly replaced (tried 2 different heads))
I've checked the wiring and redone it a hundred times and it is Per honeywell's sundial plan, and i've gone through everything I can think of to find what's keeping the boiler running.
Basically when the programmer turns the heating off i'm left with a residual 140V on the orange (switch live) which seems to keep the boiler live even though there is no demand. If I kill the power to the wiring centre and turn it back on this voltage disappears and boiler will stay off till timed on. But once it's been on it stays on...
According to the diagnosis steps on a thread I found which I think is taken from Honeywell's diagnostics tests...
"If orange has 50-150v, (when CH is switched off) there is a problem with the boiler "
When the boiler is still running d.08 is 0 -which I take to mean it knows there is no external demand for heat.
Is this likely to be a boiler fault then or is there something else I should be looking at? I'm nearly out of ideas so any help on where to look next would be muchly appreciated!
