central heating timer help needed
 

i think my central heating timer thingy has died. how easy is it to replace?

Re: central heating timer help needed
 

Very straightforward. Normally live/neutral/earth in and live/neutral/earth out for most boilers. Depends on the system but not usually difficult.

cool, i reckon i could probably cope with that.

just got to pick a timer now.

My brother did his a while back, think it cost him something like £12 for the timer. As WRC, he had +ve, -ve & earth wires with screw on connector jobbies.

Got a free one somewhere in my shed if you want it... digital, programable etc - didnt have the heart to toss it. Works fine still.

Are you sure it's dead? Mine takes batteries!! So I have to change them annually...:smt035

hmmm, i dunno. i turned the boiler and timer off a few weekends ago when i was going to be away for a while and when i switched it back on again only half of the display was working and now the display is totally dead

On mine, (digital clock and buttons) the front part is removable - two AA batteries go in the back. To get the front off - there is a clip on the top which you push and then you pull the front off...it's an oblong affair...can't remember the make tho'...I'm at work at the min...
