Boiler issue

[hel]

I'm hoping someone has an idea what may be wrong with my boiler. Every now and then the heating comes on and stays on, even though the thermostat in the hall is set low (about 15c) and the timer is off. Most of the time of you switch the boiler off at the wall it resets itself and is OK, but obviously it is wasting oil by staying on unneccesarrily. Any ideas as to the issue?

Hi Hel, did your boiler come with a service manual when it was installed?, if not try going on the web with the make, model and problem, you could get an answer from there! .

Decided that this was an occasion where you need to spend a little out on a professional. Boiler needed a service anyway so asked them to have a look at the same time. Good guy our heating engineer, he told us the part to order and hubby has fitted it this morning, it was a microswitch in the valve.
