Central heating wont stay on?

crescent55 · 2 Dec 2003

I have a Worcester 280 combi boiler, which has been problem free for some time. Hot water works fine, but the cental heating suddenly has stopped working.

When the central heating is switched on the pump starts and the boiler lights, but only stays lit for about 30seconds, if you leave the CH on it attempts to relight after a couple of minutes and again stays lit for only 30seconds.

The radiators are all bled and the cold pressure it just under 1.0bar

Any thoughts??

I'd think the motorised valve was the most likely problem.

Thanks for reply!

Is this likely to be an expensive problem???

Depends on the valve and the fault. £15-£70

What type of motorised valve have you on the system?
