Worcester Bosch Greenstar Junior 28i Flashing Green Light - Can't Control Heat
Hi all
We have a WB Greenstar Junior 28i and I noticed the heating wasn't coming on but the hot water worked. I looked at the panel on the boiler and on thee left hand side the Heating was set to 'off', where usually it is on 'timed'. I went to change it but on pressing the 'select' button nothing happened, it just stayed at 'off'.
I held down the 'reset' button for 5 seconds then let go. It did its reset but now I have a flashing green light, and still the 'select' button does nothing and I can't get the heating to move from 'off'.
I have changed the batteries in the wireless thermostat as a last resort, but still no change - can't move it from 'off' to 'timed', or anything else.
Is there something simple I can do that I am missing, or is time to call in British Gas? Also, if it is BG time, is it safe to wait a few days until my wife is off work? Thanks all for any help.

Added a photo of the boiler panel if that helps:

Why don't you give WB a ring? Their technical people should be able to offer at least some advice and their website does have a quick boiler help page which might even answer your question?0

Are you saying you are unable to change the settings/ heating on/off on the centre timer clock ?
If so I believe that is an optional extra part fitted.
So I am thinking your boiler itself is fine , and its the clock timer that's faulty !!
However , find a local repairer and get checked ,,0
