Good Morning all,
Im hoping you can help, we have been in our new house nearly 6 months and everything has been perfect until Sunday, We woke up and the house was cold.
The system is a Rayburn powered by oil, this does cooking and heating/HW in the kitchen, through in the Utility room there is a cupboard with a pump. From the pump the pipework splits to 2 x drayton ZA5 a Actuators (one marked HW and one marked heating)
All the pipework is really hot to touch, as is the pump but the pipe coming out of the heating ZA5 is cool, so i think its pretty safe to assume this is my problem. I have 3 questions though.
1) does the ZA5 tell the rayburn when to switch on, as when i manually put the heating on via the programmer the rayburn remains silent and doesn't appear to kick in (the cooker side works perfectly though)
2) As a man with very little DIY experience or confidence is it an easy fix to replace the ZA5?
3) In the short term can i just move the manual switch and basically jam the system on?
Sorry for long post, trying to avoid a huge plumber bill. Thanks in advance
