    central heating only comes on with h water, stumped engineer

    Turned the knob up full on the fire and switched valve to CH, this after about 30 seconds made the pipes start rattling really fast to the side of the boiler, then boiler shut off. i'm not sure that it ever worked properly, the HW was set to come on when CH came on, we only put CH on when it was...

    central heating only comes on with h water, stumped engineer

    I would like some help on a few things, it was mentioned whether a knob on the boiler is set in the high position, it is set to mid, should this be on high? Does the boiler have its own pump or does the whole system just use the grundfos selectric? Should the 28mm pipes from and to the boiler be...

    central heating only comes on with h water, stumped engineer

    I really thought we had cracked it with the water flowing the wrong way through the 3 way valve but it looks like its not. I ran off all the hot water as i was getting mixed results with pipes alternating between warm and cold. From cold HW on, the 28 mm pipe to valve port AB gets hot 1st...

    central heating only comes on with h water, stumped engineer

    Are the 15mm pipes as described above to the boiler wrong and are they likely to be the cause of the boiler turning itself of after about 30 seconds? A few of you have been saying that this could be a blockage or narrowing of the pipes and i would like your oppinions before i start to rip out...

    central heating only comes on with h water, stumped engineer

    My 4th engineer who i thought was coming out to try and fix my problem took a look and said he THINKS it will have 2 tees in the return pipe and the only way to find out is to rip up all the floor boards and follow the pipes to see if there are. There must be another way to find out if it is...
