Would be grateful of any advice. I see a very recent similar post which refers to gas not firing .. my problem might be the same?? Haven't ever (yet) taken case off .. can't see an auto air vent but there's two big screws on top stickered AIR and FLUE. Haven't touched them.
Here's my problem - Eight year old Vokera Excell 80. Generally has been great (serviced three times in all) though hot water problems last couple of years; diaphraghm replaced. Since around then also pressure dropping slowly (now guessing a leak somewhere) - well into red but heating still always working. Engineer cancelled on me week before Christmas, I hoped to get through the festive period ok. Unfortunately the heating has now stopped as of 2 days ago, pressure finally at 0. Was able last night to top up from filler loop after searching on net. Wish I had known about that two days ago .. pressure now at 2 (higher than I meant but it ran away a wee bit). Can't get heating back on though. Have tried switching it to 0, timer off then resetting its electricity supply (pilot is fine, haven't touched it, has remained on). It whirrs, it reacts more when I switch the timer to constant but there's still no heating. Can it have locked itself out somehow after the low pressure? Is there a simple thing I can do myself to have heating within the next week? Thanks.
