    Upstairs radiator not hot but warm

    I just checked our user manual and it's a Worcester Greenstar 24i/28i Junior All the other rads are hot apart from the top one but now it's hot at the bottom and cold at the top. I've bled it and gas comes out but once that's finished, no water sprays out.

    Triton Jade 3 won't turn off

    turned it off at the power mains. No water continued to run after the power had been turned off but once turning the power back on, water started to run again. I've looked at the fault finding in the manual and it suggest the PRD needed to be replaced and the on/off switch.

    No I turned it off and opened the door, that's when loads of white smoke poured out with the smell of burning. I turned it on this morning and it all seems to work ok but i haven't put it on a cycle in case it'll do more damage than what's possibly done already

    The brown wires went to the same as on the old switch. The blue one went to one and from from that went to the other so it is how the old switch was. And there were no earth wires when i changed the switch. We've only been in this house for a couple of months.
