the water temp down still running and then disconnected both and it still would not shut down ------------------------------------ ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.thestuccocompany.com/ Building Construction and Maintenance Forum Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.home.repair - 349251 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

Sounds like a hot water boiler, but it's not clear what water temperature you turned down. A thermostat can't keep a boiler running continuously, however a bad aquastat in an aquastat relay can. It would help if you described the system and all it's components, but it does sound like a defective aquastat relay |

Well if it's really just a shorted theromstat wiret, does he need professional help? Is the OP known to not be good at repairs. Winter's almost over in much of the world. He has the whole summer to fix it. Joe |

In most setups, the thermostat turns the circulator on when it wants heat. In this case it can be a bad relay, sensor, aquastat. |
