No heating No Hot water

[AndreaS]

Hi,

There is power to the control panel and boiler but the boiler is not firing up. The system is a GLOW WORM Ultimate. According to the instructions, it is auto lighting. The Room thermostat is set the highest, the overheat button has not popped out. The pump isn't running. (I'm not sure if the pump should run when the boiler is not running?)
I am going to get someone to look at it but just wondered if anyone has any ideas? Possible causes etc.

Cheers

Andrea

methinks it should
whats the system

All I know is that it is a GLOWWORM Ultimate Boiler with a Grungfos pump and a Seimens control panel.

Does this help?

Sorry I may be being a bit dim but I know nothing at all about central heating systems!!

what makes you think i do
if the pump isnt running chances are the boiler wont fire
hence the question about the system
BTW i'm a brickie really the names just a scam to keep the BBC away

 

[AndreaS]

Cheers, Thanks for that.

I am a little confused though. The Pump was only swapped last November. The previous one failed but not completely. The boiler was still starting up but the radiators stayed cold. Hot water was okay.

Could there be something in the system that is causing the pumps to fail?

have you got one of these in the airing cupboard

 

[AndreaS]

Yes.

I doesn't look exactly the same but it has a switch on that says Radiators or Cylinders.

All sorted now. The problem was a fuse on the control board in the boiler.

Cheers

fuses normally blow for a reason but i hope that's the end of it
