 Central Heating Timer Blowing Fuse - zippy
Thanks for all of your tips.

I spent a fun day yesterday off work and isolating the pump, 3 port valve and got nowhere.

Mrs Z got fed up and called a plumber from a local firm. According to the website we got the foreman.

He could not figure out what was wrong for a short while as the circuits were testing fine.

Then he found the problem. A power cable to the boiler was routed around a hot part and melted exposing the core which shorted.

8 inches of cable removed, replaced and rerouted and a £111 bill for an hour and a half’s work.
