Right the thermal overload indicator is on on my boiler, and I have lost heating and hot water.

Its a Heatline star 24 combi. As it was in when we bought the house I have no manuals for it.

Any sugestiosn to reset. I think its tripped in due to the filling loop bleeding xs pressure into the ch system.

Cheers

Duncan

The boilers at the correct pressure, however the warning led is still lit.

I have had the covers off the front, the drop down panned with the controls on it and the main steel front cover. I cant see anything that resembles a reset trip.

I am looking for something resembling a inertia electric fuel cut of swith?

Aye, that cheered me up no end when I pulled the cover off. I cant see any dampness around it though. Im gonna have a proper look this evening.

I cant hear it kick in you can hear a tick as the taps turned on. which should then ignite the burner.

The pump should only be for C/H though which if the boilers tripped out it won't turn on?

I've found the thermal trip on onward on the pipes
its got some white gunk under it. Its reset and now the fan and pump kick in but it still doesn't ignite. The leak is the union to the heat exchanger.
