Can anyone help! I have a Potterton Neataheat Profile 60E boiler, Grundfoss UPS 15/50 pump and Honeywell V4073A1039 3 position valve. This morning the pump was making nasty screeching noises so I turned the pump speed down to a minimum.
This caused the radiators to go cold so, suspecting the pump, I bought another and replaced it tonight. I had to drain the whole system to replace the pump then refilled and switched the boiler back on. I opened a rad. bleed valve and the water gushed around and air was coming out of the radiator. After a while the overheat trip on the boiler tripped, and I couldn't reset it until it had cooled down.
The problem now is that hot water is flooding out into the header tank and not circulating. I imagine that this is causing the boiler to trip. I have opened the bleed screw on the pump but that's not solved anything, I can hear the pump working but it's struggling because it sounds like it's pumping dry.
Sorry to go on but I've tried to descibe the exact symptoms in the hope that anyone can help!!
