I have a Ariston a/23 mffi boiler, that has started shutdown with an
overheat warning light. This mainly occurs when the hot water is run for a
while (like for a bath).Once reset it seems to runs ok.

I've noticed that the temp display on front of the boiler only work
intermittently.

I 'think' that it probably the temp probe that is faulty, so tested this
with a dmm and showed high/infinite resistance.

I would be greatful if someone more knowledgeable could reasure me that
this
is the faulty part.

Well, if it's really open circuit and you're measuring it correctly (10k
IIRC) then, yes, it sounds like it's buggered


Also will replacing this will require the system to be drained first.

RTFM as they say
