We've just moved into a new house, the heating was working fine for the first two nights, but now, nothing.

As you can see by the pic, if I tap through the options for heating to; 'continuous', the boiler should fire up and the orange light should come on.

But nothing.

The boiler is working as it is heating the water, it's an oil boiler.

Any help appreciated, as we are very cold, thanks.

Check the 2/3 port valve, move the lever arm to test.

See the manual lever from approx. 33 seconds.

Thanks.
The you tube clip keeps jamming. But I got the idea, I moved that valve thing, I could feel the resistance which is good (apparently), but the heating hasn't come on.

Is your room thermostat turned up?

Did you latch the lever in place?

Is the pump running?

Have you turned the roomstat up?

The thermostat is digital and is very confusing (I'm used to a dial), however, I put it up very high and it suddenly came on!😄

We are soooooo pleased! Thank you very much!

I feel a bit stupid, but don't care, we will be warm now.

It was propbaly a stuck valve and as you moved the lever, it now works.
