I've tried 2 other types of stats and all have the same result, the
heating ignores them when room reaches temp.
I've just changed the stat for a Honeywell CM900 and again I get exactly
the same result. *If I move the slider to off on the EP3002 everything
closes fine.

I thought maybe I'd wired the stat wrong so I rewired it and now I've
popped the motorised valve (Myson Power Extra MPE228).

I've ordered a replacement valve and EP3002. *See how we go?

Keep playing with it, keep breaking and changing parts... you'll
eventually
change something and accitentally "fix" it, *OR* you can call you local
Master Tech and get the problem corrected the first time and be done with
it.

Not everyone has an instant-gratification fixation. I'm sure you could
troubleshoot it faster, but as long as he is being safe, give the man a
little credit for trying! I do!

He changed something, and now its not working.... then while trying to "fix"
it, he fried a motorized valve... Whats he going to fry next?? How much more
is his attempts going to cost in time and money to replace componants that
he destroys in the process??

* *Probably not much compared to the cost of an hour or two of a techs
time. If the owner can swap a few components and it works half of the
time, the owner is probably way ahead--at least financially, and surely
from the point of view of understanding his or her system.

I think I am way ahead because I have made the effort to learn more
about how these systems.

Learning how the system works and then correctly
diagnosing what's wrong is different than just buying and
changing parts without knowing what you're doing.
I think that is what he was referring to.

If the thing was heating when the thermstat should not
be calling for heat, wouldn't you just disconnect the
thermostat wires first and see if it stopped?





The industry would seem to prefer for people to
be scared and ignorant. The outlook seems good. I would just caution
those that will try to "work safe", and to make sure to know what that
means in any context in which one is working--for instance in operating
a table saw.



He's already in way over his head if he can't figure out simple controls.- Hide quoted text -
