Now that’s a strong statement! 😉

Yes lol , its true

I had one of these in my own house and the house of my father in/law. Since have both been changed to a worcester 30si compact and a worcester 30RI heat only with a unvented cylinder. Price may seem costly but my it is worth the expense as gledhills are simply a pain in the arse!

So, the Thermistor arrived on Friday, fitted it on Sunday and it is working again. All good except my wife hates me letting her live with hot/cold showers for 2 years when it was such an easy fix...

Glad that it worked mate. Thanks for the feed back.

Why didn’t she fix it then?

I put my money on the board being at fault we replace Adair few on the states round where I live. Barring the odd pump going it’s the only thing we replace on them. But again I would 99 percent say it will be the board they are rubbish

It's already been fixed, it was the thermistor.

I have exactly the same problem. I wondered if you ever got resolution?

Yes I did, and fixed it. In my case it was a Thermistor on the heat exchanger that was faulty.

You can see if yours is faulty by checking the temp for the HW on the LED display when the water is running. Mine was jumping up to around 85 degrees and causing the pump to shut off temporarily and then going back to 60 degrees. 85 degrees should not be not possible.

Shut of the mains water, turn of the power to it, bit of PTFE round the thread and it was done.

To see the HW temp, press SW2 Three times and the display will read HXX (xx it the temp)

SW2 is the second swich down below the LED display.

It is also possible that your main board is faulty, sensor is cheap to replace first though.
