Mend Boiler Overheating Hot

is my boiler overheating?

I have no experience with boiler, I touched the flue duct on the top of the boiler,
it's hurt, very very hot, I think it's over 100 Celsius (°C), is this normal?
also the top of the boiler is quiet hot, about 65 Celsius (°C).

the problem history:
1. my boiler had a problem when I had a show, hot water stopped, flashing quickly, I reset it working again.
2. next day reset sometime working sometime not, asked a plumber checked, he had no confidence, said might be PCB, but he said I might pay for nothing, so we stuck there
3, After 2 days, the boiler stop working completely, no CH no HW, flash every second, reset no help. the fuse broken, replace still broke again, at last I found the overheating short 2 wires(red one green one) which are for overheat thermostat and water pressure switch and air pressure switch, I fix the broken wires, then the fuse no longer broke, but boiler still not working
4. replaced a PCB, flashing quicking, checked fan is working, short the air pressure switch, then I can hear spark, but no ignite, not working, linked out the water pressure switch, WOW, Ignite! fire up, :lol:
5. I am trying to check if the boiler is overheating or not...

Electro, Thank you very much!
You explained very clearly.
The boiler is worcester 28i Junior.

The flue been very hot is probably normal. There is fire in there. Not all heat can be transmited to the water and the exaust is thus still very hot.
The top of the boiler is also expected to be hot.
For both, you should check the boiler manual. It should mention the normal working temperature at some key locations.

Normaly, the green wire is the ground wire. The red one is a live wire and it possibly carry the full sector voltage (110 if American or 240 for Europe)

Maybe a switch or the sensor it's connected to is deffective.

After that, I can't say.
