Well i'm stumped now. I replaced the pstat and same symptoms occuring. Wiring is same as was shipped to me from WLL - took several pictures before and after. The switch itself on the pstat i tested with multimeter and confirmed continuity on the stram boiler pole below pressure and no continuity once it reaches about 1.2 bar.
However, pressure continues to rise as the main boiler is heating. Steam boiler relief valve opens. Confused as to why this would start after a descale. Maybe another valve or line is blocked that i'm not familiar with On Sun, Jun 21, 2020, 11:40 AM Eric Christoffersen <[email protected]> wrote: > I got a mater xp110.
