I have a Honeywell 4 wire mains stat(earth, blue, yellow & red) i recently moved it and wired it incorrectly and trip my rcd. I got the yellow and blue the wrong way round...MY BAD..!
Anyway surprisingly it no longer works and i cant hear a 'click' when turned plus my heating is on constantly!
Is it likley to be just the stat or have i shafted something else?
ive reconnected them as per a neighbours and the boiler fires all the time, i have to switch it off at the wall. I'm just wondering if its worth spending the cash on a new stat or a £99 BG call out to have a look/fix

Well. that's up to you, but if the boiler is firing then at least that must be ok. If the red or yellow wire is disconnected from the thermostat then the boiler should stop firing. Does it?
decided to strip the stat down and the contact were fused together freed them off and im back in business!! what a relief still gonna go for a new stat though any suggestions for a wired one?
ok bit of an update i can now switch the boiler on and off via the stat but the boiler does not seem to be 'obeying' the honeywell timer controls, the ones that fire the boiler\hot water on & off in the morning\afternoon
