[riggs]

seco services, yes i do have one of those and i am coming around to the fact that it may be that. the heating has totally gone now i think ill have to bite the bullet and get a plumber . a new programmer would have been easy but whether it is the pump or the motorised valve checked the pump last night and it is turning so i am edging towards the valve[/quote]

yes i do have one of those

Well done - you've got within a hair's breadth of being specific.

and i am coming around to the fact that it may be that.

The thing you're coming round to is not a fact.

the heating has totally gone now i think ill have to bite the bullet and get a plumber. a new programmer would have been easy

What would have been easy is for you to describe your system as requested in the topic listed here, which is called "Before you post a question please read this:", but you haven't done that. Instead, you've embarked on a series of assumptions and wild guesses that are doing no more than wasting everyone's time and making you very confused.

but whether it is the pump or the motorised valve

At the moment, it could be pretty much anything - you've travelled absolutely zero distance down the path of fault-finding

checked the pump last night

No. You didn't. You only think that you did.

it is turning

You've made another assumption. You might think that the spindle is turning, but that doesn't mean that the pump is pumping. If the spindle isn't turning when it should, then you can conclude that the pump is jammed or has failed. If the spindle is turning, then you can't conclude anything except that some electrical power is reaching the pump.

so i am edging towards the valve

In that case edge away again, have a cup of tea, post the information you've been asked for, and be guided by the people who know how to do what you don't.

Got you're MB's on again excessive and irrelevant quoting yet your post don't attract the Mod's attention why? I'm sure I've seen mod 11 quote that little beauty many times before.

softus if you think i am wasting your time why bother answering my post you trolling waste of space, get a life or a wife and stop bothering me . you probably know less than i do regarding heating systems now grow up and p1ss off away or are you going to have to answer this because you have nothing better to do.....................go play with a spanner you nut

however now its a lottery whether it will come on or not , after a reset it works everytime, but may not work the next time , when not working the electronic timer says it is 'on' but the pump does not sound like it is

have i read this wrong??? when you select heating and you say the pump dosent come on just use a big flat head and unscrew the centre screw bit of water but not alot and just slide you driver in n see if the impeller is spinning.

 

[riggs]

taken the screw out and the impeller is spinning i was guessing this means the pump is working

 

[Softus]

why bother answering my post

Because:-

1. There's faint chance that you might still wake up and provide the information that's being requested.
2. Other people reading the topic will become aware of how not to ask for help.

you probably know less than i do regarding heating systems

You should be on the stage with a joke like that.

I've lost count of the number of heating systems I've fixed this week, and I've got three to go to now. Meanwhile, if you like sitting there in the cold then don't read this.
