fuse blowing next to central heating clock - part two
I mentioned yesterday that my 3A fuse kept blowing, knocking out my
central heating. After looking at it a bit more closely yesterday the central heating clock stayed on for hours while the heating was switched off. When I switched the heating on it worked for about an hour before the fuse blows again. The radiators warmed up and I got some hot water. Is this a sign that everything is working mechanically but something is overheating over that 1/2 hour - hour? I'm starting to think the pump must be it so I guess I should get a leccy around to check it out |

I was presenting the point in an "in your face" simple manner after he said about getting a sparky in - I thought it worth pointing out in the context of his post Would you like to point out exactly what was wrong in principle with my reply ? And how is checking out a pump (which could be in a different part of the building from the boiler) got anything to do with being corgi registered? **** knows you tosser, where did I say it did ? -- geoff |

Problem solved. I Replaced the old Commodore pump with a wilo 130mm
15-60 pump and I'm no longer blowing fuses. The old pump (which did feel to be turning btw) must have had some problems with it which caused it to pull too much power. thanks for the advice on this and my first post guys |

As I said, it had to be one of the prime suspects. A 15-60 (as opposed to a 15-50) sounds about right as a replacement for a Commodore. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored.. Messages sent to it may not be read for several weeks. PLEASE REPLY TO NEWSGROUP! yeah, the commodore didn't have any visible ratings on it in terms of head, so for the sake of a fiver I thought it best to get the higher rated one (even if it did drop it from an energy B to a C rating! better that than have another pump go screwy) thanks again |
