So a further update i am still a little stuck, I dont want to bother the WLL guys as I am UK based and cant get the parts through them. I have checked the wiring and it all seems fine. Both boilers are good (as far as i can tell). I replaced the SSR but this didnt make any difference. I am still getting 235ish volts in and nothing out. The light is solid on the SSR indicating the PID is telling it to send power to the elements. I still get the heating/steam light flicking on at the same time as i hear the relay click from the control box. The PID seems to dispay the temp correctly (room temp) and has the little blue dot indicating it is sending a signal to the SSR. Pump also works fine. My last guess is the control box or potentially Pstat. Does anyone know of a way to bypass the Pstat? I am guessing this isnt the broken part but it would be nice if its a cheap part! As a side note it worked once last week, steam light came on and it all started heating up. Are intermittant issues generally associated with the control box?
thanks to anyone that can help! Rich ps i bypassed both hilimit switches so unfortunately its not either of these On Monday, March 27, 2017 at 9:58:09 AM UTC+1, Rich wrote: > > Hi All, > > I hope someone can help as i am a little stuck!
