Hi, My boiler is intermittently cutting out and needing the reset button to be pressed. An engineer came- and it didn't stop working- and he said it could have been due to an airlock. The next day it wasn't working. It worked for a day or 2 over the weekend and then stopped again. Is it...

hi With my boiler the problem was no air in the expansion vessel. This seems to cause this problem. But yours may be different... I am definitely a novice:) AM

Apologies. I though message was lost when it wasn't. AM

Hi :( Sorry but lost message after much typing :( After much joy at thinking problem solved the system started cutting out after about 20mins needing reset button pressed. I read up around this- heard about overheating stat- called company. Engineer came out- it worked!- he oiled...

Hi, I'm sorry all. After posting a week or so ago about my great success they system started to develop a new problem. The boiler kept cutting out after about 20 minutes, and the reset light came on. It worked for a few minutes and then went off again. We got this same company out as I thought...

I have a Gloworm and teh same problem. Trying to get engineers out to it tomorrow. It seems to work oK heating water. There are a few other posts which mention 'cutting out' if you serch for them. All I know is that it sounds like a problem for teh engineer. AM

Hi, After my last posting we continued to have problems.... but manageable ones. The pressure stayed at about 0.3, went up when we were using the boiler, but not high enough to trigger the ppv i guess. The system did not need refilling. On saturday morning my brother noticed the pressure...

Oh dear. And what happens then? New pipes everywhere? Lots of money to be spent? AM

Ok. First thing this morning we had to fill the system again to have a shower. Then the engineer arrived. He had another look at the expansion vessel and said there might be a problem with the valve on it as he had a few problems with it when he checked it last week. So he asked me for a bowl to...

hi.. this is very similar to my problem with a glow-wrm boiler....will look out for your replies. Anne marie

Just to let you know. I've had the PPV changed but the problem still remains. The pressure is still falling. And there was an occasion when my brother turned a tap on and steam and boiling hot water came out... luckily a radiator gurgled just before this and he didn't have his hand under it at...

Thanks ChrisR- that all makes a lot of sense... more than I can say for my last message (maybe I should learn to reread them before posting). I was surprised that he didn't do anything apart from look at this valve... and that he suggested the pressure might still rise with this vavlve open...

Ok folks. I have a Gloworm boiler... and can't remember specific time but the plumber engineer didn't think Gloworm was a great type. He went outside and saw that the water was coming out of the PPV. Now, I had looked at this one evening but was looking too high on the wall in the dark and...

Uhm... is that the onlone equivalent of the workman looking at your car/boiler/drains etc and puting his hand to his mouth and saying "Uhm.... I don't like the look of that!" :) Let's hope i don't have an ideal response boiler..... but I'm not going to panic myself by searching though...

http://www.heatforce.co.uk/ To be fair, it was only the person who answered the phone (at Heatforce- see above) who suggested it might be an airlock. I'm not sure if he is an engineer or not. But this is a large firm and I'm sure they are competent. If anyone knows that they aren't let me...

hi... every evening I mean to look at the boiler to see what type it is and forget. Sorry! I'm having a Corgi engineer come to look at it this morning. Over the phone yesterday they suggested that it could be a large airlock. I bled all the radiators last night abd only water came out. If I...

thank you very much.... we don't have the radiators on at this time of the year... could it still be them?? maybe I am displaying complete ignorance now! AM

Hi all, I know questions get asked several times about pressure falling so sorry for repeating. I have tried to read through previous replies. Basically for the last week the pressure in teh boiler has been falling to zero by it self. We can see no signs of a leak. We refill it to 1 each...
