Worcester Greenstar - Pump problem

[jurassic86]

OK guys- new problem lol...

My boiler is working fine- call for heating works, boiler turns on, heats the water up and pumps away until satisfied etc...

But I have noticed that for some reason while working away whilst giving CH it will randomly stop heating but what is even more strange is the pump will also stop resulting in the temperature on the boiler hitting 90degrees (basically no overrun). Then I think it basically resets itself going all the way back down to 30 degrees (which when the pump is not working takes a while).

The pump definitely works because when you unplug it from the 24v circuit it stays continually on...

Does this sound like a faulty PCB? As I say this only happens during the CH mode.

Yea pcb ive had it happen a couple of times. Is it an older greenstar cdi?

 

[jurassic86]

It's a 2006 greenstar 35cdi
It's been a pain to diagnose because I never noticed it creeping up from 60 to 90 as the boiler was always silent when it did it!
Wonder what caused that to happen on pcb

Pump relay failure.

 

[jurassic86]

Wonder if it's worth me having a go at replacing the relay?
Is it within the board itself?
I imagine having a power cut a few weeks ago maybe caused it.

Yea its on there somewhere
