I have only just moved into this house as my girlfriends mum and dad have moved to Spain.
So you're telling me that i have to have the boiler on before hand to heat the water up for the tap unlike in my old place where i turned the hot tap on and it kicked the boiler up automatically?
Ok, cheers guys, i will ge someone out to have a look at it. I know i may come across as a bit nieve but i'm not stupid. i do think about things before i do them.
Thanks for the help and i'll post up to tell what the problem was.
Cheers
OK, i adjusted the knob in the middle of the fan and now it will kick in by itself but it still will not heat up tap water i.e it doesn't recognise when i turn the hot tap on. any ideas?
its a glow-worm economy plus EP40F.
well, i thought that the fan might not be working because i couldn't hear it whirring when you kick the boiler in so i did the job manually with my mouth.
Do you think i should get a new fan then or shall i just get rid and get a new boiler?
I know your not taking the pish mate and it's nice that theres people out there who care but isn't that the whole point of this forum, to fix problems thereselves with the help of other experienced and well educated people. Upto yet no-ones given me any ideas of what the problem might be...
well, i'd prefer to try and have a go myself if its knackered anyway then i can't do no more harm. I'm not going to mess with any of the gas lines etc. dont worry
If i turn the heating on it makes a noise but no pilot light and no gas burning, also nothing happens when i turn on the hot tap. i don't know if it doesn't recognise that i've turned the tap on or not.
Theres a clear and red pipe connected to what looks like the fan.
To get the boiler to...
