I dont mean to be blonde but my red light says "lockout

[sazzleevans]

Hi

My other half is a bit of a diy no go area. He took one of the radiators off the wall this aftermoon and coudnt s stop it leaking. He manged to stop it in the end but them the system was drained??? I saw his turn a top under our Halstead boiler and said he has to refill the system.

Hes now had to go away to work for a week and theres no hot water and no heating. The ignition lockout light is on. I have tried turning it off and on and i have tried pressing the ignition button but no hope.

I am cold and will soon smell without help

you need to repressure the system then reset the boiler. where about are you ?

 

[ChrisR]

WHich boiler is it. Guessing it's a "Finest" the filling loop tap is up under the bottom near the second-left pipe, a black tab which turns 90º.
The reset button is that side, underneath, if the boiler boiled.

Hmmm. Theres a blue tap but i think thats for the water, Its under the tank. The boiler is a Quattro. Its an old thing which we need reply to replace. Any suggestions.

Smelly isnt really sexy unless you the type that lives up trees

he used to asked josphine to stop bathing a month before he returned, the dirty get!!!!.

so leave the boiler alone and bag yourself a short arsed meglomanic

[corgiman]

[sazzleevans]

[corgiman]

can you see a red button underneath the boiler?

 

[sazzleevans]

No theres a blue tap for the water pressure but when i turn that the pressure dial just keeps going up. Its on 2 at the moment.

 

[corgiman]

no need to up the pressure anymore so leave that alone now

arrgh i reall cannot remeber where the oh stat is, it is sunday after all.

what we are looking for is a red button with two identcally coloured wires going to it and a really small copper tube on it as well

 

[sazzleevans]

Thanks. I appreciate the help. Off to look for a red button.

Thanks again
SARAH

 

[sazzleevans]

No red button. Typical it never happens on a weeday.

If anyone is sitting on their sofa in a nice warm house and know the million dollar question. I would think you were fab!!

I think you can download the manual for this boiler from the Halstead web site. Just select discontinued from the menu.

Edit. Here is the link http://www.halsteadboilers.co.uk/pdfs/Quattro/QuattroInst.pdf

The overheat reset button is on top of the boiler to the left.
