Ideal Sprint Rapide RS75n
If I run the hot water tap this boiler blows the house fuse and then I
have to reset it. If I plug this boiler to an Isolation Transformer (240v to 240v) then it seems to work fine. What could be wrong? Thanks |

Thanks You seem to have a short circuit to earth, possibly around the microswitch on top of the diverter valve. Is there a water leak from this unit? Note this is only one of a number of possible scenarios and you should use someone competent to investigate.. |
