Hello everyone - 1st Post. Hopefully not have too many more!
I have a few queries with regards to the above boiler.
* Hot Water is working fine.
When I turned my heating on the other night it took a while to start up with the green light flashing every 0.5 seconds. (so I dug the old manual out and this indicated a temporary fault and advised to wait). So I waited a 'few' hours (6) and the heating started to work. I switched the boiler off (standby mode) heading to bed that night.
Last night I had the same problem with the green light flashing every 0.5 seconds. So I decided to start bleeding the system - only I couldn't as the drain valve had conveniently frozen up. Tried hot water on it but to no avail. So I started bleeding the rads (no air from any) Then I just let one rad bleed out into a small tub whilst keeping the pressure topped up. So I closed that up while making a few calls and then the heating fired up 5 mins later.
So same episode today. Tried to put heating on - Light advised wait. Bled the highest rad and let out around a pint of water out. Closed up, repressurised and its working again 5 mins later.
The system also has a tiny leak somewhere. Although I'm sure it's something a doze of Fernox will fix.
I should add being a Joiner, I got my close friend to fit this boiler (a Gas Safe Registered Heating Eng). I trust him 100% that he's done the job correct. I don't want to call him to let him know I have problems when it was only fitted 9 months ago!
Any ideas whats going on?
Thanks for your time guys.
