Hi all,
Just hoping you guys can give me some help on my central heating system. I am having issues with the radiators not heating. I have hot water, the boiler fires and the pump appears to be working.
The system is a conventional setup, with the tank in the loft space. It would appear that the radiator in the bathroom is the only one working, but I assume this is the way it was designed so I have warm towels.
The thermostat has been turned right up and this hasn't helped. I have also bled most of the radiators (will do the rest this evening). All the pipes surrounding the water tank are hot with the exception off one. However it appears that one other is warm (as it is near the pump) and appears to run downstairs, but gets colder further down the pipe (this could be the water return pipe. I have checked all radiator pipes and they are all stone cold! Could it be the switching valve?
I'm not sure whether the switching valve is the following: its a white box with two lights on it both of which illuminate when the CH and HW are on. Could it be that this is the fault? Like I say I've no idea what else this could be other than the valve.
The bolier is a Potterton Suprima 30 is this helps. (Had to have the PCB change cos of the famous lock out issue).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
