As I understand it the capacitor in the pump is a running capacitor and if it went open circuit then the pump motor would not spin at all.
I am not against having a new pump but as I have cancer and would not be able to fit it myself it would be quite costly, and I need a sure reason to replace it.
A few years old grundfos pump and a vaillant ecotec plus 418 boiler which is all protected with a 3 amp fuse.
I have not measured the actual amperage with a meter although if needed I could do.
Since I started this thread I have had 2 Drayton LP522 programmers.
In both cases the relay contacts have spiked, first one sticking permanently the second one temporarily.
I have spoke to Drayton technical department and they say the relays are rated as 2 amps.
These programmers are not cheap...

The Drayton had the link out so was setup for a fully pumped system, but even from brand new they are a noisy programmer especially at the point the clock reaches the timed on and off positions.

Yes I see they still do clockwork programmers like the 103/106 mind you they are quite expensive

zzzjim, immersion heater timers should have plenty of capacity on the contacts, true

I did have a Landis & Gyr branded wickes that I fitted in about 1988, so a Danfoss 3060 looks a bit of a monster, bit having said that it would nice if it did the job

SimonG,
Its for my own heating system so I want one that will last, my health is not good so I am searching for something that will see me out !

It seems that's the way things are these days, but they still change a quality price for these clocks, they are not cheap !
