Boiler probs

[leeroydesouza]

Hi all,

Had a new boiler fitted 18 months ago. All of a sudden the shower is freezing- i turn off the shower a few times and then the hot water returns. last night i had to get out of the shower and reset the boiler. then it worked with hot water.

Any ideas?

Hang on, I'll get my crystal ball out of its box.

Very helpful, Dan.

Identify if it is a shower only issue or all hot water outlets issue.
If it's the latter, then anything past switching power to the boiler off then on again, and checking it has gas and water supply is going to require an engineer to attend.
Make a warranty call to the fitters/manufacturers.
If it's the shower only, then you can tinker away!

Thanks for your help Dilalio. Good tips!

Very helpful, Dan.

What did you expect with the level of information you've provided?

 

[leeroydesouza]

Just thought it may have been a common problem. Seems Dilalio didn't have the same problem providing tips. Don't forgot Dan, not everyone is an expert....

Would you phone a garage and expect an answer to "I have a car problem"?

Don't you think it might be an idea to give a little more information than" it's 18 months old"?

 

[leeroydesouza]

I did give a little more information. That the hot water was intermittent. But thanks for replying.

Thanks Picasso. Combi boiler. Worcester boiler. Shower is old (was in when we moved in to house - Mixer shower).

If it is a boiler problem, you should still under Worcester warranty, so call them.

Or, if it is not a problem of boiler, you might be charged for their call out.

To be honest, I don't think I saw a please or thank you on the OP's 1st post. Call me old fashioned but manners are still appreciated on a forum.

I'd respond much the same.

Honestly, there are posters asking for help, no- demanding in fact, rude too. No intention of saying please or a thank you. Funny old world where good manners is no longer a consideration

Me thinks there should be additional buttons such a uncourtious, lacking information, RTFM and a few more

We got a "Hi". That's better than a most .
