Adjust pressure switch???

Just wondering what it does (the screw part in the centre)... I just assumed it was sensitivity... Boiler not sensing hot water being turned on so just wondering if that might help...

Also wondering if the electrical connectors are connected the right way around (does it matter which way around they are connected???)

cheers Mike :D
 
Mike you have given me all I need.

If you are having trouble with this then you're not deemed competent and should not be opening up a boiler and putting yours and your neighbours family at risk!

Swallow some pride and a small bill as it will best serve you in the long run. You are messing with safety devices to the boiler and you will only create issues for yourself.

It sounds like it could be a simple fix below the 3 figure mark but please let a qualified RGI look at it.
 
Already paid £210 for 2 jokers to leave me with it leaking, screw heads to heat exchange stripped bear and original pressure sensor tread snapped off - they even blow torched the plastic so it melted nicely into the thread (I've since cleaned it all up)...

Would happily pay for someone I could trust to do an honest job...

Anyway... I'm just after answers to my 2 questions, I understand and respect your reservations but assume it isn't against forum rules to ask...
 
Feel your pain and if I were you I'd get said jokers back to complete their works. It doesn't sound like its a major problem but please don't mess yourself.

You're right it is against forum rules to give gas advice in the public forum but if you were to put your area in your profile or on here (not address!) then you may find a bloody good engineer,of which there are a few, on here that could help you out.

To give at least a bit of information... That is for the central heating circuit pressure (relating to the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler) and has nothing to do with the hot water flow sensor. It should not be adjusted but the screw probably does adjust the sensitivity (no reason to adjust!). No its not polarity sensitive, it's just a make or break switch. So you're barking up the wrong tree by the sounds of it if your problem is with the hot water, get someone who knows what they're doing.
 
Thanks Stormer... I appreciate your explanation. I assumed wrong about the sensor for sure... I've booked up an engineer to come out on a flat fee for parts and labor so hopefully it should be job done by tomorrow eve!

As for tonight... It's a bit chilly!!!

Thanks again
 
Only pay an engineer on satisfactory completion, and in circumstances like this either pay by cheque or credit card - that way you can issue a charge-back or cancel the cheque.

I'm always amazed that an engineer will charge for parts & labour that hasn't fixed the problem, and also why a customer would pay for it. If they're changing parts get them to show you the old one, or even leave it with you.
