At exactly midnight our central heating combi boiler died. :-((((((((((


For anything containing a computer and connector, I'd have said it
was a leap-second bug Unfortunately it almost certainly isn't
connected to the internet and a leap-second definitely wasn't
added this year, so I doubt that is the case!

Good luck getting it fixed.

Fixed it by giving up using the reset button and instead unplugging it and then
plugging it in again. What they call in Germany a " housewife's reset".

I've had to do that with mine, possibly as a result of brownouts.

Worryingly it failed while on. Memo to self: ask manufacturer
which protection mechanism would have prevented my house burning
down

Was it not in failed off mode - thus little danger at all ?
I do not see how it can can be considered as failed if still on !!

Changing the thermostat so that the aiming temperature was below
the room temperature should have caused the boiler to stop heating.
It didn't: the heating continued.

Niether of the external controls (on/off and water temperature)
caused any change.

Turning the power supply off at the wall spur connection
restored normal operation.

Conclusion: internal microcontroller was more than a little
confused. /If/ all safety cutouts relied on the microprocessor
then there would have been a very serious problem.

That's worrying David, at this rate you could lose all the lakes of
groundwater that are currently in your area, or indeed the ground could
become dry enough to walk on !

Yes, Happy New Year everyone. Lets hope for the same summer but a proper
spring and a touch less monsoon season.

New year greetings to all. Anyone found any good instructions on how
to build an ark?
