Mend Sabre 25HE Heating Boiler Fuse

Why does my Sabre 25HE pcb fuse keeps blowing?

The pcb fuse blows after the boiler is switched on after a few minutes. I have had the boiler replaced as tenants were getting fed up and have the old one in my garage.
Any sugestions?

have you noticed any leaks inside the boiler?
any signs of rust or corrosion under the boiler?

Q
April 2015
Looking at the circuit diagram in the installation manual ( http://cdn0.vokera.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/compact-se-installation-and-servicing-manual.pdf ).

The live supply feeds 4 things:

PCB transformer (All the time) (Powers the electronics on the PCB)
Burner Fan (via a Via a relay, so only on when needed)
Circulating Pump (Via a relay, so only on when needed)
Ignition Board (Via a relay, so only on when needed)-The ignition board also manages the gas valve solenoids.

If one of these loads is faulty (Short? Failing and going low resistance, may be when hot? or it is a load that is only switched on after the boiler has been running for a while, that could be a problem.

You MAY have some luck disconnecting the fan, pump etc and checking the resistance as soon after the fuse has failed as possible (a minute or two). Blowing a 2A fuse at 240V means the resistance is less than 120 Ohms

-------------DON'T FORGET TO ISOLATE THE MAINS FIRST!!!!!!!!

Good luck
