Hello there,
We've been experiencing problems with our Micron 50FF boiler for a while now, but it came to a head a couple of days ago whereby the circuit the boiler is on kept tripping out. Plumber has changed both motorised valves (one was leaking and the other has been on its last legs for the best part of a year), as he suspected this was why the pump wasn't working - not that it was the pump itself. Since then, he advised that the pump was dead, so replaced that too - but alas, now the electricity is flowing through all valves/pump it's not reaching the boiler downstairs to fire up the pilot light. There are simply no lights, so it's not a question of fault finding via the Glowworm diagrams, nothing at all comes on. He's due to come back later, with a new fuse for the PCB, which is what he thinks the issue is, but I wondered if there was any advice anyone could give on this first? I have 2 questions - should the fuse have been removed in the PCB before he changed the pump (being replaced after the pump was fitted) and should he have checked before replacing anything that electricity was reaching the boiler in the first place (or would it have not because the pump wasn't working?). Many thanks in advance.
