Hello, wonder whether anyone can help. One day out of the blue, when my hotwater system was programmed to come on, it tripped out the main power switch to the whole house. This started to become randomly more frequent. I replaced the programmer which I believed to be at fault, but this made no difference. I tried isolating the pump/valve and cylinder stat each in turn to identify the problem and this seemed to point to the cylinder stat. I replaced this but this still hasn't fixed it. Now I can turn the hw or ch heating on without it tripping,by turning the power on when the cylinder stat is on low, and then by turning the stat up, the boiler will fire up.
Does anyone know how i can solve this strange problem? A heating engineer came round a while ago when the system was behaving itself and he couldn't recreate the problem, but i still had to pay a call out charge !
