came home today and was expecting dishwasher to have finished running a cycle but instead all lights were off and it had stopped midway through. thought the fuse must have blown in the plug so i changed it and switched it back on and all was fine for about 30 seconds and then a loud bang and...

its never been a problem before, usually in the past even with tap on full the temp would be fine. not sure how fast the flow rate is, the shower seems to be ok, not really hot but fine but main problem is filling the bath and it being luke warm. i'll just use taps at around half way at the...

ok thanks, will it be obvious upon checking them that that is the problem ? if 'scale' is the problem, is it just a case of removing and descaling ?

noticed my boiler only producing luke warm water when using the shpwer/bath or bathroom sink tap. after some trouble shooting ive found that if any tap or shower is on full blast i only get luke warm water around 50 degrees and it wont get any hotter, if i reduce flow rate to around half the...

it is heating the water but only to a max of 50, even if i turn the water temp dial up to max it still wont go above 50 degrees, jsut seesm to be cutting off at that point and not heating any higher than that

when CH is on they go to whatever i have the dial set to, if i have it turned to max they light all the way to max and the same if i have it set on a low temp and the lights remain on the correct temp

noticed that the hot water temp never seesm to go above 50 degrees recently, have checked the shower, bath and kitchen and bathroom sink tap and all are the same. even with the boilet water temp turned all the way up the temperature reaches around 50 and then stops heating any higher, its not...

ive looked at the link for balancing a CH system and it talks about the outlet of each radiator being fitted with a lockshield valve and a control valve on the other end. ive checked all the radiators in my house and every one of them is fitted with a wheel head valve at both ends and all are...

brilliant, thanks for all the help as always !

ok, have shut all radiators off and just left living room one on it is now boiling hot, much hotter than it has ever been before and there are no cold spots. what does that mean then ?

turns out that actually i wont try that now as just been informed by the wife that theres no bloody way im turning any heating off tonight when the kids are in bed and she's freezing. will now try it tomorrow instead !

ok, will try that now.

bottom of radiator is pretty cold, middle is warmish and top is slightly warmer still. the valve on one side is boiling hot as is the pipe and the valve and pipe on the other are cold/luke warm.

i took the TRV off today as it was broken and now both valves are just normal wheel head valves and both are fully open.

other valve is open fully. today when i bled the system the water was flowing out of the radiator no problem, if it was full of sludge would that have been obvious today ? not sure if it would come out in the water or stay stuck inside the radiator. could it also just be a problem with the...

had a problem with one radiator in the house for a while now. when the heatings on all radiators heat up fine and work perfectly, the living room one never heats to the same temp as the others, even if thermostat is on full it will only be warm at best. thought i had found the problem when i...

yes your right and it does say that in the 2nd post on here by 'poxi'

you got me there, its the difference between paying £8 and having a working boiler and paying a professional to do it. if you can afford a professional to fix it, then thats fine, if you cant and i cant, then you do what you have to do. i replaced a faulty part and my boiler works fine now.

that was exactly what mine always did and no problems since i replaced the sensor.

hi, if youve got the servicing booklet that came with the boiler, look in there at the section that says changing components and find the central heating temperature sensor, in my book its section 14.9, its basically a case of pulling the electrical connection from it and then unscrewing the...
