    I have the same problem. I think it is the temperature probe. I have ordered a new one. When I fit it I will let you know if it resolves the problem.

The fault occured a few days after I altered the radiator layout and then refilled the system. Intially the boiler worked fine, then a few days later all of the temperature lights light upto 80 and the boiler would not fire. The pump was working but the fan was not. After diagnosing the electronics I came to the conclusion it was either the contol pcb or the temperature probe. As the temperature probe was the cheaper option I replaced that first. The system is now working again. I think this fault was caused by me failing to completly remove all air from the system after refill and an air lock occuring causing the probe to burn out.

Water pressure good, thermostat calling for heat boiler ignites , heats to 80, turns off, drops to 40 reignites - keeps this cycle going. temp sensor? return sensor? any help appreciated

the thermostat has an upper and lower setting at which point to turn the unit off and back on
most have a 10 degree variation between off and on so that a steady temp is maintained
check to see if the lower setting can be raised closer to the 80 degrees
if not consider a new thermostat with closer settings

I'm a plumber and was looking at a friend's Ariston Microgenus 28 kW combi boiler today. The problem is the DHW comes out tepid, then within a few seconds of the burner igniting, the temp indicator lights...

Many boilers seem to use a more or less common type of thermister although actual fixings vary. My experience of one of these from another brand of boiler was 670 ohms at 10 deg C and 10 -11 k ohms at 20 deg C

Burnham Boiler, no constant ignition.

Is there a pressure switch you can jump to see if it is defective? Is the inducer fan blowing out exhaust? You could also have a dirty pilot.

Boiler won't fire even though the pilot is lit

Check if the ignition plug works. Upon putting your boiler on, a spark will normally trigger the
the firing. Then, check the ignition transformer if it works. Check the secondary voltage which is between 15000 to 20000 volts to trigger the ignition plug and the boiler to fire. If no spark,
have your ignition transformer replaced to make it work.

Ariston Microgenus 27mffi combi boiler

im an engineer and recently had exactly the same thing with this ariston boiler, i found out it was the the 'air pressure switch', this is a switch which is part of the ignition, it works in conjuction with the fan. when the boiler fires up the air pressure switch makes, if its faulty it can break the circuit mid flow and cause the burner to shut down therefore giving intermittent hot water and heating, theres a possibility that the aps tubes may be damaged as well so ensure they'e condition is good. hope this helps you
