Hi,
I have a Glow Worm 30ci.
I've not used the central heating for many months, but the hot water was working fine.
This morning, I switched the central heating on, and it showed an error- flashing red led with 0.6 bar flashing. I was pretty sure this was the same error as I had last year (just after I moved in), and I solved that by turning a blue 'filling device' (as described in the manual). However, this time it seems to have no effect. Last year, I could hear something being released - at the time I thought it was air, but from reading :
Filling loops - How to restore the pressure in a sealed heating systems

I think it is probably water. Anyway, this time I get no noise at all, and the pressure on the LCD doesn't change. It reads 0.6 with a green led.
If I turn the boiler off for 5 seconds and then on again, as advised in the manual, at least I get the hot water working again.
Side note: I have my father visiting tomorrow, so I'm reluctant to risk losing hot water; though having central heating too would be good.
Another data point: I recently fitted some new bath taps which required me to shut the water off at the mains. I didn't pay any particular attention to the boiler, and so I'm wondering if that caused some problem.
Any advice?
Max.
FWIW, I don't really know what I'm doing.
