Hi
External Worcester Heatslave 18/25.
Christmas day the heating went off and dinner was on our laps in front of the log burner, Boxing day was scratching our heads, checking pressures, bleeding rads, re-setting trip switches etc. Finally the heating came on. The next day I turned the heating on and although you could hear the burner the central heating water wasn't circulating as this can be heard and felt at the first rad, I tried again and it came on and lasted until New Years Eve, it went off at lunchtime.
I suspected pump as it was making a sort of ticking sound, I tried bleeding the pump and got water from the screw, I removed the silver bleed screw and found a bit of loose plastic inside? which was removed. Pump turned freely and when we did have power there it rotated albeit much slower than I would have expected.
I can turn the boiler on most mornings and it will run but no DHW or CH and after a few minutes it trips the boiler reset button then nothing. Pressures are fine, everything has been bled, burner will ignite and everything gets hot inside cabinet but no heating or hot water?
Does anyone think it maybe the pump?
We live quite in quite a rural area, I have posted on a couple of sites that get tradesmen to contact you who want work but no replies yet. I can get a replacement pump from Screwfix tomorrow for £100, any idea's if this will solve it?
Sorry for first post being problems but from other posts I've read on here you guys were really helpful.
Kind regards
Brian
