Discuss 3 port actuator replaced in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
I need this working tonight.
I just changed the fuse and double checked the wiring, which all good, but it has blown my last fuse.
Could it be a faulty actuator, even though its brand new.
can you upload a close up pic of the valve connections on the PCB?Hopefully the upload worked.
It's a Honeywell circuit board and the Nest 3rd gen thermostat.
The problem wasn't with the actuator if your pump isn't running. A few minutes with a multi meter will find the problem.When either the central heating or hot water was calling for heat, the boiler would come on, but the pump wasn't, so the boiler just boiled up like a kettle.
I changed the motor in the actuator, but it made no difference, so I bought a new head, but after wiring it in, it keeps blowing the fuse as shown in the picture.
You have grey connected to the earth terminal marked grn/yel and earth connected to the terminal labelled grey.........The best I could do.
Technically you are correct. A sparky could also. My point was to get somebody that would deal with that sort of thing on a Daily basis as it may be a completely different issue.You don't need a gas safe engineer to replace/repair your fault. Can you post a picture of the connections in the wiring centre?
The op has wired the green and yellow in to the terminal marked grey and grey in to the terminal marked green an yellow..This is why it keeps blowing fuses. But as for the OP changing the actuator.....I bet it still doesn't solve the issue of the pump not running.Technically you are correct. A sparky could also.

Do you have a multi meter/voltage tester that your competent to use?You are correct on both points.
My problem was not the actuator

At least you now know what it is and what you need to do to resolve it and also you've stopped the blowing fuse issue.Already done that. And to rule everything else out, I wired the pump direct to a mains socket.
It is definitely the pump.
So now I need a plumber and a new pump.
