Combi boiler stat not turning off heating

Correct but I have seen them wired backwards eg 3 live 1 switch

Yep, me too. Had one recently, set to a mid point, so in winter it’s fine. The way it was wired max was off and low (5 degrees) on the VRT30 was off.

Thanks of wired backwards at the stat it would still work? I know if get the wires wrong when swapping a boiler at the boiler side the stat comes on when turned down and off when turned up.

Test terminal 3 to earth or neutral with stat off should be no voltage

If there is 240v check 1 if that’s got 240v aswell stats dead

If that stat was dead, would that cause it not to knock off the heating. As is happening. Thanks

Thanks even though it is making the clicking sound when going above/below cut of temperature?

Yes. I’ve had some fail brand new out of the box.

The stats wires for some reason had been pulled out of the boiler not sure why. How old would be a pro combi he100 be around 10 years old?
