Hi all,
I am new to the forum and wondering if someone with more experience than myself could possibly shed some light on an issue i am having with my parents boiler.
Its a Baxi Bermuda C3W.
ON x mas day the central heating and hot water stopped working after a while of searching for the boiler controls (I am inexperienced!) I reset the boiler and fired it up again.
The water heated up and the central heating also, but the CH only for a short while then the rads cooled down. HOt water stayed hot.
The pilot kept burning but the boiler was not really doing much. If water was run shortly after the boiler would fire up into larger flames.
Upstairs in the airing cupboard there are 2 danfoss port valves. They were both in automatic position, when I put these on manual position the boiler would fire and shortly thereafter the rads would heat up.
Does anyone have any idea why this would not work on automatic mode or what could possibly be wrong? And is there an issue for my folks running it on manual until the house is warm?
Any help welcome!
Thanks all,
Martin
