Combi DHW output problem

CH operates without problem



The DHW developed the following problem earlier this evening



DHW short cycles on & off in (roughly) 30 second bursts. This can be 'cured'if the DHW control on the front panel is backed off to about 40% of its full value - which reduces the temp. at the taps to tepid. At first I thought this was an overheat problem but the overheat stat (which is resetable) has not tripped. The mains water pressure is unchanged so I have initially discounted low pressure problems. We live in a soft water area so no scaling problems.



Could this be a thermistor problem ?
