When heating only is selected, no problem - heating goes on/off controlled by the room thermostat.
When hot water only is selected and hot water is below temp, 3 way valve moved to 50/50 position and both hot water tank and radiators get hot. When hot water reaches temp, 3 way value moves to 100% heating, boiler carries on and central heating keeps getting hotter. Room thermostat is set to min/off and ignored.
Originally thought it was the programmer, so changed the elderly Drayton LP241 for a new LP522. No change in behaviour.
Boiler: Glow Worm Ultimate 30
New Programmer: Drayton LP522
Old Programmer: Drayton LP241
Thermostat: Drayton CombiStat (9 months old)
3 way motorised value: Danfoss
