Hi all,
Firstly, I have an old Baxi (non-combi) system.
I am refitting a bathroom. In preparation for the later fitting of a new towel rail / radiator, I have drained down the central heating system.
I've now fitted all the new pipework and fitted valves to the end of the new radiator feed pipes (as I'm not ready to fit the rad itself until after I've tiled).
I've refilled the central heating system by 1) allowing the header tank to refill, then 2) closing off the drain valves downstairs and 3) bleeding multiple rads in the house. Then turned on the heating and hot water to check for leaks and also to make sure the new pipework holds up under pressure when hot.
Problem - the central heating / hot water control panel shows both systems on continuous with red lights to confirm they are on (or should be). I've turned the thermostat up to 30 degrees and I've confirmed that I do have a pilot light in the boiler - however the boiler is not firing up like it would normally.
Any ideas what I might have done (or not done)?
ps: I do hear a sort of humming / droning noise when I move the controller slide switch from off to continuous but that's all. I'm wondering if the pump is not primed (after the system drain) or something?
