Boiler is locking out after around 2 hours of being on, checked pump & valve & wiring & drained system, flushed pipes no blockage . Pump & 3 port valve are only 2 year old.
I'm an electrician and can wire central heating & take the controls apart but not trained on the pipes.
I've had the head off the pump & found some lagging caught inside so I cleaned that out , drained the system & few times between pumping the water around to flush out any dirt - all clean, radiators aren't patchy either.
Does anyone know about the 2 or 3 stats inside the boiler that may be playing up and causing the boiler to overheat & lock out sometimes or at other times just turn off before it reaches target temperature but NOT lock out?
I can't think of anything else except that the pump has had it, I got told to see how much force it take to stop the pump spinning with a screwdriver, they said it should take a lot of force but I was able to stop it spinning with a 4mm flat blade and just 1 hand pushing against the propeller.
Any suggestion on what to check or questions for me about the system & what I have done would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
