Timer is off but boiler is still operating!!

It could possibly be something like this but please do not try removing anything yourself,👍 leave it to the installer to rectify . Regards kop
thanks a lot!
that photo is control link? if i show this to the installer, he would understand what to to/test/recify?
certainly i won't touch anything😅
 
I don't know which Worcester boiler you have but if I had to take a educated guess I would say you have slight wiring issue just mention it to the installer these can often be missed, but those motorised valves are also sometimes temperamental? It's a process of elimination I'm afraid. Regards kop
 
thank you!
should i mention or remind this "if the external controls are not complete at the time the boiler is installed" to the installer?
No, you'll probably just end up confusing the issue. I was just trying to explain what I thought a control link is (and ready to be shot down if my understanding was wrong).

Thank you again for your reply!
I searched my quote record, the boiler is Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30Kw Ri SEDBUK.
I will mention " slight wiring issue" to the installer for his reference! Thanks for this reminder!

This issue (timer is off but boiler still operating) happened on Monday, but Tuesday and Wednesday were normal; But Thursday night happened again that boiler could not stopped working even if timber was off, then Saturday and today are normally so far.

So the problem is like intermittent, not all the time. That's why the installer came on Wednesday having a brief check and said nothing wrong... but Thursday night it happened again.

I agree with you very much that this is "a process of elimination", I hope when the installer comes again he would do the check process carefully, rather than quickly announce all good but later it happens again...
 
Do you have 240v on the oranges if you do you need to separate them being careful as one will be live and then retest to see which one is always on eg 240v on orange then once you’ve found the one follow it back to the same brown one in the cable then test does that have 240v if you do you have another fault if you don’t the port valve micro switch is stuck

Thank you very much Shaun!
All those are to test the motorised valve? I need to open it up and test inside?
 
Tests from the wiring centre
May I ask where the wiring centre is? Sorry for this further question!

The other reply mentioned "I would say you have slight wiring issue just mention it to the installer these can often be missed"
===This wiring issue means the wiring centre as you said?

Thank you again!
 
Follow the port valve wires eg the black ones should lead to a 12-14 way choc block strip or wiring centre
 
That’s a wiring diagram for your system
