Ok I shall hold off bleeding the pump ;) Yes the noise could be the pump constantly on. But this is a new problem, it has not been constant since it was installed in February. What could be causing the pump to run constantly? The boiler is fitted above a bedroom and the hum is a bother...

Does anyone know if it is possible to bleed the pump on the boiler? I think the humming noise more or less started when I switched the central heating on about a month ago. I will bleed all the radiators when I get home tonight but I read that sometimes the pump needs bleeding too. Is this...

doh! well that explains the blue light. but what could be causing the constant humming noise? surely it should be silent/off until water is demanded? the green pilot light is on intermittently, presumably to heat the internal hot water tank. it is slightly noisier when this is on, but a...

i had a worcester 440cdi fitted in february this yesr. recently i have noticed the blue light is constantly on and the boiler is making a normal humming noise indicating it is in use eg no louder than when someone is in the shower. the central heating has not been used all weekend, the...

Sorry, I thought I wrote earlier that the water temperature is set to 4. This is the minimum I like the hot water to be for my shower. I have tried lower and it doesn't get hot enough for my liking. I don't remember seeing an "economy" setting on the boiler. I will look tonight when I get back,

Sorry, I should have been more clear in my original post. The previous two Pottertons were both combi's. I have never had a seperate hot water tank.

Hi, there is one new female adult in the house compared to this time last year, the rest are the same. She has showers, not baths. I am really trying to pin point where the extra usage is coming from, whether it is the cooker or the boiler. Is there a way to clip a device onto the meter...

I have no idea why. The people in the house did not change during end February to end of August. Both bills were definitely based on actuals and not estimates and it confirms this on the bills "we read your meter".. I do keep a regular look out. I am on BG Click 4 and I haven't changed...

Why should it make a difference if I have one person or ten people in the house? All the plumbers recommended a storage tank and standard boiler but I wanted a combi for my own reasons and I am happy with my choice. It is on a rare occassion that more than one person is using a shower and the...

Hi, my bill is always based on actuals, never estimates. I always ensure of this as I hate paying over or under. The thermostat has nothing to do with the bill as I haven't used the heating in the last three months. I was ignoring the cost and only looking at unit usage as I know the cost...

Is there a way to stop it?

I have a digital thermostat in the hallway and TRV's on all the radiators. But since the heating hasn't been on in the last quarter then I am struggling to see the high cost of the bill. How can I measure how much the cooker uses?

I have a house which was two flats when I bought it, but not converted properly. So I made it back into a house and was left with a combi Potterton boiler that controlled the heating and hot water downstairs and a combi Potterton that controlled the heating and hot water upstairs. My...

Hi, It is all installed according to spec. I have a building control certificate and Worcester have also been out and inspected the installation. There is about 2m of level floor in front of the boiler. The case has not warped at all. It is only three months old! It is in the loft which I had...

Hi clfs-gas, thanks so much for your help yesterday. My boyfriend couldn't get the front panel off either so this morning I called the installer. He came over this evening and used a screwdriver to prise it open from the top then lifted it from the clips at the bottom. The instruction manual...

I had a shower! Thanks for your help. I found the instructions on how to get the panel off on Page 40 like you said. For the life of me, I just can't get it to budge. I have pulled then lifted and lifted then pulled but it won't move. I will wait for my boyfriend to come over later, mabe...

Mmm. Ok, next problem. Front panel does not seem to come off! There is a screw on the left and the right at the bottom attaching the front panel to the side inside the panel which I can't work out how to access.... Also the boiler seems to be powered on although the heating and hot water...

Hi, I had a Worcester 440Cdi fitted end January. I noticed yesterday that the pressure has dropped down to nearly zero on the pressure guage on the front. In the manual it says it should be reading 2. I looked at the pipework so I could add some more water to the system but I am a bit...
