boiler on...radiators cold

[romolo]

I have a commodore 2 and it is super hot. No central heating in house.

There are 2 brass valves which I can adjust but can't see anything else as its in an odd position (had to use phone to get manufacturer).

Could it be ceased. Where is valve to bleed water to check noon air in chamber.

I am not a central heating novice even. Just handy DIY.

Tried bleeding radiators and downstairs are all full of water.

Also tried powering off and on from fuse board.

Tried rotating 2 brass valve types as I thought these were possible bleed valve.

We are super cold. Any help appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Roy

Are images of the pump and front..

Pump is VERY hard to access.

Shops all closed and we have to use ovens to keep kitchen warm.

Please help asap.

Either the pump isn't pumping anything around the system.
Or if you have a zone valve or 3 port valve it isn't moving into
position for central heating.
If you have a 3 port or 2 port there will be a tab lever on the side to
move it manually.
If the pump has gone looks like there is going to be some major
re-plumbing to get at it.

I once had to move an oil boiler because the
customer had installed his pump behind the boiler.

This pump is behind the boiler. hence its hard to get to. There are 2 chimney walls either side also.

Sounds like pump isn't working.
New pump needed.

Your pump probably has power to it. That's why it's hot!

Sometimes a gentle tap with a hammer jolts it into action again for a temporary fix.

But really the death knell has sounded for this pump so if you're lucky enough for it to start again make quick plans for a replacement to be fitted.
