radiators have stopped working (single mum)

[oilman]

Yep, still haven't learnt. Is that the eighth or ninth pint talking?

 

[kevplumb]

seeing as i haven't had a drink for a week

is that the left or right one talking

and just out of interest this post started "please answer a single mum"

then went to "boiler half working "

then we got the third title

 

[nickso]

it's a, don't knogas central heating boiler that works both radiators and water and it has C1 on it and it's 7 yrs old but looks quite modern. Sorry hope the info is useful, don't really know what i'm talkining about.

must surely be the British gas C1 copy of the worcester.

All of a sudden my radiators have stopped working, the boiler is making all the right noises and the lights are on and the hot waters working. The boiler is about 7yrs old. Just had loads of work done, can't bare it if i've gotta have people come in and mess my house up again (or afford it) any replies would be appreciated x

You may have a large copper cylinder in a cupboard somewhere which is being heated using electricity.

The fan on your boiler or the pump or both may be going round creating the impression it is on.

Oilman, thanks for your kind reply.
Kev, do you have to keep pointing out my typos.

The boiler heats the water, I don't have a cylinder. The water is still hot (thankfully) but the radiators that are heated from the same boiler are stone cold.

I don't think there are any typing errors here for your amusement kev.

 

[stoatqueen]

just noticed the other replies thanks everyone. I am not used to the site yet

Kev, do you have to keep pointing out my typos.

where if you mean the title change it was confusing

I don't think there are any typing errors here for your amusement kev.

don't amuse me at all, i leave that sort of crap to a certain pretentious pratt

1st question

is the pump running (not sounds like ) check it first

 

[stoatqueen]

Well, at the risk of being a big girl. This boiler does not open up, at least not that I can do.

 

[gas4you]

If nickso is correct in it being BG C1, how about the diaphragm?

Unfortunatley stoatqueen whatever is said on here I think you need to get a CORGI in to resolve this. He should know how to open the boiler

 

[stoatqueen]

yeh was thinking that too, thanks though...brrrr freezing xx

 

[oilman]

seeing as i haven't had a drink for a week

........

Maybe if you had a few then, you wouldn't be so tetchy

 

[Paul Barker]

get a CORGI in to resolve this. He should know how to open the boiler

Or if he doesn't he'll look at intelligently then ask you to make a cup of tea and search frantically for the how the fick to get the front off code.

Might be grab the large white bit slid upwards and pull forwards if it's a worcester.

At least he will know what a pump looks like and how to test it.

You're in with a chance there Kev, obviously someone who likes a guy with a strong "drinking" arm
