Hi, I have a Glowworm Micron 60FF boiler, which keeps resetting. Reset light on solid. It happens once or twice a day. In between the resets, the boiler works fine. It makes little difference where the boiler thermostat is set. The reset light indicates overtemp, and I've monitored the temp on the feed pipe, and it normally heats up to about 65, before turning off and cooling, and back up to 65. Every so often it goes up to 85, followed by the reset. The board, thermistor, pump and overtemp stat have all been replaced, but the fault remains. As far as I can see it has to be the thermistor or board. The old and new thermistors test ok. Old board was 2000227135, new board is 2000801991. I did consider scale inside the boiler preventing the thermistor from getting a good reading, but I've measured the voltage across the thermistor during use and the voltage continues to drop as the temperature rises, until it resets. I suspect I may have a faulty new board, but it's unusual to get the same fault on a new component. The voltage across the thermistor is quite erratic, which seems wrong, but I don't have a good one to compare. Any ideas? FWIW I'm an electrical engineer, so have a fair understanding of electrics, but can't find much info on these boards.
