[QUOTE="Phil Russell, post: 504683, member: 33396"] Thank you for prompt replies. Boiler is serviced every year and has the next one in January under our ch contract . Last spring we had a similar trip problem but during the day ..and we tracked it down to a ch issue (by switching everything else off / isolating circuits). The trip operated every time the ch was switched on at the consumer unit but there was maybe a minute delay. The ch engineer diagnosed a wiring fault (lack of insulation on one wire going to the pump motor) and re-did it. All has been well until now. Over the years we have had several motorised valves fail but never had one trip the consumer unit; but then there is always a first time. The 6am bit is puzzling .. condensation? There is nothing else that comes on at that time. Cheers, Phil Good point. Will do but it may take a week or so to trip again, or maybe tomorrow ... Cheers, Phil [/QUOTE]
