DHW Problems Baxi 105E

[mark999]

Hi all
i have had a baxi 105e for 3 year changed out 2 dhw diaphragm with no problems then i received a gas that was 3x more then usual I went to check the boiler and found that the hot water was running continual and the taps where off. I then remove the DHW diaphragm clean and greased plungers tested again seem ok for a bit but then started again doing the same thing can anyone help?????

Sounds like the hw microswitch is stuck in the 'on' position, it'll need changing if that is the issue

Check your pipework in the roof,maybe next door has taped into it,to help run thier new dry cleaning bussiness

or maybe the kids have started taking more than one shower a month

could also be h/w micro switch as well as said spose

The microswitch has been tested and are working ok

Testing it once doesn't mean it's working ok all the time, microswitches can stick 'intermittently'

Or it could be dearer gas prices or uve been using more gas I suppose also

If it is on all the time and it is HW demand if there is no tap open or leak it should shut down on overheat !
Had this on a cracked pipe buried in concrete ( after someone else had changed diaphragm , HW thermister and control board took the money and would not go back)
Are you gas safe ?

isolate cold under boiler to confirm no leak

Hi
I can confirm that i don't have any cracked or leaking pipes.
But the led on the boiler is still on when I shut off the hot tap.
The other day my wife noticed that the radiator in the bathroom was warm
when I checked the boiler the hot tap led was on and no one was use hot water???

Is it just the LED thats on or is it the burner as well?
