Banging Noise from Hot Press

    I had a dream about a banging noise last night and woke up at 4am to a banging noise coming from the hot press. Funny how that happens, eh?

    The banging noise sounds like metal on metal and the noises are about a second apart.

    I have a gas boiler downstairs to heat the water and it's on a timer. It would have switched off around 11pm. The little blue box in the hot press (I assume it some sort of controller) was very warm to the touch.

    When I switched the boiler off at the main switch, the banging noise stopped.

    I switched it on again this morning and the banging started straight away.

    I'll call Bord Gais on Tuesday for an engineer to call out. Any idea what the issue is?

    Sounds like air in one of the pipes, but as this is more of a heating problem I will move this thread to plumbing & heating.

    at a guess the little blue box may be a motorised valve

    these can give problems with sticking micro switches
