Question:

Blown fuse on boiler. Help!?

The other day I came home to the boiler not working. The light for the on-switch was off, but the switch was on. I checked the fuses for the house; they were all ok. It was the fuse in the switch. So I changed it (twice), and both times I changed it, it blew the moment I pressed the on-switch. I used a 3amp fuse both times, because the original fuse was 3amp, so it's not that ampage that's the problem. Any ideas?

Answer:

Find the manufacturer's installation instructions and check the wiring and fuse requirement, 3 amp does not sound right. If it is then there is a short circuit somewhere in the wiring of the boiler or going to it. You will need a qualified technician to repair this problem. The boiler may still be under warranty, call the manufacturer first, you could save a ton of money.
