My boiler keeps tripping out my electricity.

My heating hasn’t been used for a few months as I’ve been out of the country.
I’ve got a nest thermostat.
I’ve tried unplugging that and operating the heating by manual but the best it can do is work for half an hour then trip out the electricity.

    I’m going to get my crystal ball out and say the diverter vavle spindle is leaking into the diverter valve motor and tripping the electrical, that’s my guess.

    What ever it is I think you need some one to take a look, I would guess water leak but could be fan or pump causing it.
