Ariston Microgenus 24 Clock Switch Problem

[gm306]

Just moved into a new flat and the boiler is an Ariston Microgenus.

Seems to be working ok from a heating and hot water point of view, problem is that the timer seems not to be working.

It's fitted with the mechanical clock that I think most of these boilers have, and on the clock there's a switch which allows you to select always off, timed or always on for the central heating.

Problem is that whatever position you choose (even the off position), when you turn the central heating temperature knob above zero, it stays on constantly. Clock itself seems to work ok and has kept the right time for a few days now.

My best guess is that there's something wrong with the selector switch. If anyone has any other suggestions as to what it might be or any advice on how to fix it that would be great - it's starting to get very expensive to wake up to a warm flat in the morning!

Thanks

I am not sure what you expect to hear but its normal to replace a faulty clock with a new one!

Not that familiar with boilers and wanted to check it's likely to be the clock that needs replacing and not something else - have read lots online about the PCBs going on these boilers and wanted to make sure it was the clock before spending £50 on a new one and finding out it's something else!
