The girl who bought my house says the boiler trip switch keeps tripping

She’s had the switch cover off & all is secure wire wise

The boiler works then it trips

Switches on & all ok then trips again

Any thoughts as I don’t know

I’ve told her to get a boiler engineer out.

Cheers all

I’d disconnect the boiler & polarity check the circuit first. A Earth/Neutral short can trip it.

If it the boiler; circulation pump or fan are the usual culprits
Most newish boiler GV solenoids are low Voltage.
