Why does my boiler need topping up all the time?

Is the 3 zone boiler heat too hot?
I have a 3 zone boiler heat system, one t-stat for each floor. It’s worked fine for years except twice in the past few months. The first time I was out of town and my wife called and said the upstairs was very hot. I can’t remember how I got it straightened out over the phone but I did.
Why do I need a zone for my boiler?

Why do I keep getting heat from my boiler?
The valve actuator motor could be failing & getting stuck. Meaning, you’re periodically getting heat when another valve opens & pumps.

How does a zone valve on a boiler work?
When it is open, the hot water is allowed to flow through to heat up your home. A zone valve will be connected to a thermostat, which allows it to detect when the room temperature has reached the correct level. When this happens, the valve will close and prevent any more hot water from flowing through the radiators.
