Mine is purple, but I have been told that's normal

Mine did that, it was a dry joint on the PCB not sensing something or other, it would heat and heat and heat then lock out rather than heating for a bit, then circulating, then heating, then circulating

I might give the old percussive maintenance a try tomorrow. If I can free it off and it works I will know 100% its the pump but from the symptoms I am 99% sure it is. It got SERIOUSLY hot earlier and the connecting pipes were Luke warm.

So if I turn that bolt head clockwise it should turn easily?Thats the one in my other link! OK that big platic nut comes out to reveal the impeller bolt head.

No that bolt head is just a plug, remove it and the end of the impeller is behind it, that's what you need to turn, probably with an Allen key. Switch it off first then turn it and switch it back on.

Will have a go and report back.No that bolt head is just a plug, remove it and the end of the impeller is behind it, that's what you need to turn, probably with an Allen key.
