Oil burner randomly turns on

[Clayton_ni]

Hi my oil burner has started to turn on randomly. It doesn't heat anything but I can hear it running outside. What could be causing this.? The timer is set to off

Is it an oil combi? Dripping tap anywhere?

Do you have a hot water cylinder?

Do you have a hot water cylinder?

Yes I have a hot water tank

Ok. I suspect but could be wrong you have two valves and the HW zone valve end switch is stuck. Is your hot water slightly higher temperature than usual?

Hi. Yes the hot water is slightly warmer than usual

Then I suspect the hot water zone valve has failed. I take it you have two 2 ports in the airing cupboard?

This is all I see

You need someone with a multimeter and an understanding. If it is a 3 port valve I suspect a dodgy programmer.

Sorry it may not to be a three port valve it just looks like that one
