Hi, I just fitted a modern tall radiator to my system in place of a standard double. I have refilled the system (f&e) and the boiler (modern baxi system boiler) starts up then turns off by itself after a couple mins of running. Any ideas??
1. Usual cause of boiler turning off after a minute or two is poor circulation.
2. Have you bled the system, including the coil inside the hot water cylinder?
3. Are you sure any valves you closed have been re-opened.
Yeah I think you are right. Tall rad was spitting yellow water at me. Guessing its got some chemical colouring from manufacturing. Getting a steady stream of bleed now.Usually trapped air/poor circulation as mentioned.
That's a great shout. Not sure I need to do that now. Presumably that pushes air out the system?Open all valves including the zone valves (manually) set your boiler temp to zero, your pump to max (fixed speed,) and give it a wizx for 10 mins
Air in the boiler or system preventing circulation. Did you latch manually open the motorised valve/s before filling system ? Was F&E tank clean before draining ?
Yea, or it should do lol.That's a great shout. Not sure I need to do that now. Presumably that pushes air out the system?
Is the tall rad heating fully now ? Some must have the flow and return piped into specific ports, and won't heat if they are not.
