Greenstar 30si, cold radiators

[v0sey]

Have hot water at the taps, but as in the title cold radiators.
The pressure is reading 1.5, the controll for the system has new batteries in. The system is 4 years old and has been serviced reguarly, the chap we use is currently on holiday, hence my post. Hope someone can help, thanks in advance.

Way to provide details....

Does the boiler fire for heating at all?

 

[v0sey]

Vague I know, sorry. Not my strong point knowing my way round anything like this.
There is no sign of the boiler kicking in what so ever for the central heating.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Can you confirm if the boiler is responding to the call for heat? Dies it get warm, but not send the heat to the rads, or does it just sit there looking pretty?

If you can't answer these questions then you need to think about getting an RGI or Worcester out to the boiler.

It's just sitting there looking pretty, no warmth at all from the boiler.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Then you need to confirm that the boiler is actually receiving the demand to heat.

Have you an electrical tester?

 

[v0sey]

No I haven't, I was hoping that it may have been something simple that I'd overlooked, but after searching the Worcester website and many other forums for anyone with the same problem and coming up blank. I think It's time to call a alternative engineer.

 

[Dan Robinson]

They are basic electrical checks, but if you don't know then you don't know... you could do more harm than good.

 

[v0sey]

That's why I'd rather not play around with something that I could potentialy cause more problems.
Thank you for the replies, Andy.

Problem solved, after speaking to a engineer they suggesed that after replaicing the batteries the boiler may not be picking up the signal.
To resolve this, removed batteries put the timer infront of boiler re-inserted batteries put timer into a activated possition, and boiler kicked in. Timer now put back in its regular possition.
Was told this is a common thing that happens, hope it may help someone else.
