So recently my central heating has been playing up. The oil fired boiler seems to be going ok, but there is something amiss. Roughly a year ago I had 3 new mortorised valves fitted (upstairs, downsatirs and HW) after the boiler wouldnt fire. All going great for 6 months then one morning I...

Thank you for all your help, all very helpful information. As you say, it really does need an experienced eye. I will come back and update when I find out what has happened. Thanks again.

The house is only 13 years old, is that old? I am now swaying or should that be guessing in my infinite stupidity towards the Grundfos circulating pump which is in the boiler tin cabinet outside. The pump is very hot to touch, which I understand is not a good thing. I can feel the pump...

Sorry, now edited to be understandable. If I turn upstairs and downstairs thermostats right up to 35, all the radiators, upstairs and down get very hot. The boiler has just had a new fuel pump about a month ago, but I’m assuming you are talking about a water pump? I’ve very limited knowledge on...

Hi everyone I noticed last week that my central heating was not heating up my water, when my heating was switched on. Then, I noticed one morning that upstairs where I sleep, was not very warm in the morning when I woke, even with the heating being on timer. I noticed heat when I came...

Well Terry... well done. The motorised valves were not operating, just like you said. The switches were working, the motors were working, but the internals fell out of them as soon as the covers were taken off. An electrician and 3 new heads later and things are working better than ever. I have...

Hi all Following on from this thread, https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/riello-rdb-boiler-dead.500922/ Is there any reason the mains electricity from the armoured cable to my boiler would only be providing 1v and when switched on at the heating control upping the power to 9v? My boiler...

Thanks Terry. I thought about fitting a new double socket, but you are right. Perhaps I should phone a spark. Thanks again. Oh, is it safe to run the boiler from that extension lead for a day or 2?

Thanks for the help so far guys, even though its over my head. Bit of problem solving this morning and my boiler works! As you can see from the picture, it has to be plugged into an extension lead and plugged into a socket inside the house. This is instead of plugging it in to the double socket...

Not a thing muggles. Well, the light on the control illuminates, but no response from the boiler.

Hi Terry, thanks for the answer. Ive taken a few photos with the light fading. Controls is the "Grasslin" thing? Motorised valves are inside I believe in my living room. Ill have a look. EDIT: Contol looks on as per usual & I "Switched" the 3 mototrised valves I have to the opposite ends...

Hi guys & gals... Hoping I can get a bit of help here. I have an Riello RDB (outdoor oil) burner. It is roughly 10 years old. Over the years, when I ran out of oil, I have bled the boiler. I have also reset the boiler at the temperature thermostat (I think that’s what it is called). This...
