Hi guys, well a couple of years ago in this thread you very kindly helped me with a problem my house had with the heating and HW. I was very happy as it sorted the knocking noise I was having. Heating has always been a bit problematic and the stat always needs to be up high to come on but hey.
Today I have a different problem. This has been happening on and off for about 6 months. I have had the letting agents plumber and electrician out 2-3 times EACH, and they cannot find the problem. They are totally useless in my opinion. I have had them out probaly ten times since we have rented here and never fixed a thing. I only fixed the problem 2 years ago from help from on here myself.
So the current issue is this:
The heating gets stuck on. If we turn the heating on manually via the programmer in the airing cupboard, or timed automatically to come on, either way it will then not turn off. So if we manually turn the programer heating to off or the programmer automatically as part of the program turns it off, heat still gets chucked out of the radiators and the boiler still remains on and the pump in the airing cupboard. The only way to get it to turn off, is to turn the boiler in the kitchen off or muck about with turning it off and on/reset a few times. Sometimes this still doesn't work and we have to leave the boiler physically off for an hour or more. One day we had to keep turning it on and off about ten times to get it to turn off and stay off.
The heating does "work" and get hot otherwise. The HW works ok. The HW I don't think gets stuck on because we often run out of hot water so that's how I can tell it is not always running. It seems only the CH gets stuck on. I'd massively appreciate some help with this.
Cheers guys
EDIT: Also turning the stat down does not get it to turn off either.
