Yes sorry , - what seems to be happening is I think that 3 way thingy is sticking. I turned the thermostat right down , yet the boiler was roaring away and the radiators were RED hot , Does that 3 way thing , supposed to direct the flow in another direction , once the set temp has been reached , mine just got hotter and hotter. If that 3 way was in some way defective , what would happen ??

Thanks for the link Wine O :thumbleft:

Have you done as Scruff suggested and tried to pull the arm out a few mm allowing it to return to the hot water position where it would normally live?

If it won't return by spring now then turn the heating off at the power supply and try it again.

Let us know how you get on.

And yes they certainly can stick but that's not the only possible fault :wink:

Change the valve for a Honeywell. Drayton controls are nothing but trouble
