Heating Controller Being overridden (UK)

[Tony P]

I'm not familiar with that particular actuator. W M H stands for Water, Mid position and Heating. Best to look up the instructions for that actuator to see how to manually operate it.

Sorry missed this earlier, looks like I need to change the actuator, it is quick release so will replace and use a junction box rather than rewire. Thanks for your help.

What sort of junction box do you have in mind? It will need to have clamps to secure the cable, be of adequate IP rating, and be capable of joining several wires.
Much better to do the job properly and change the whole lead back to the wiring centre.

Given that the cable on the MA1 actuator is at best a metre long I don't understand why you are adding a junction box

When you have the actuator off, check that whatever it moves in the valve works smoothly without catching. It's not unknown for debris or scale to build up and limit the travel of the actuator slightly, preventing the switch working as it should.

Morning, I'm only a basic DIY person, can manage a junction box but I'd not want to take on rewiring the control box. Cheers

You can, no doubt, manage a junction box IF you understand the requirements for that junction box, and are able to source a suitable one, which is the reason for my last post.
