Hi, just joined to see if anyone has experience of controller issues with the Froling S3 Turbo.
A bit of background:
The boiler is in a holiday home in France we bought 5 years ago, it was apparently installed in 2014. I have no previous experience with biomass boilers. It was working fine (once I found a manual in English online!) until last September when the circulation (radiators) pump failed and tripped the whole house electrics when it started. We found a suitable Wilus replacement and fitted it in June, tested it with a separate power lead and all seemed OK but it was a bit warm to be firing up the boiler. Jump to last week (I'm only there a couple of times a year) and I fired it up and it heated up the thermal store/accumulator/big water tank but wouldn't run the pump. When I powered the pump independently it then turned the flow temperature down to minimum -not helpful!
I know it can run the pump as the pump's display lights up briefly when the system is first powered on, it also ran it briefly once when I was paging through all the menu setting to see what was going on.
I'm no longer at the house but I did go through photographing every menu page on the display.
Getting someone out to look at it will be inconvenient as I'm not planning to go out again until the spring (I live in the UK), my sister lives 70km away but isn't that technically minded. The house is up in the Vercors mountains so getting trades to travel there can be an issue sometimes.
I'm hoping the collective wisdom here can help me diagnose the issue!
