Radiators not heating

[Anthony Mayfield]

I'm hoping you can help with my radiator woes. I've been fighting with my boiler since I moved into my new property. I've just replaced the diverter motor value which was broken and now I'm getting hot water through my flow out pipe, however the flow in pipe never gets warm

I've pulled off the motor and cleaned it and it appears to be running well, I've also tried different configurations on the radiators to see if any of them get warm. The one closet to the boiler does get luke warm at best but that's it. I just can't see how it can warm up the closet radiator while no warm water is flowing back into the system, it's been on for over an hour now.

I'm wondering if the pipework is blocked maybe or one of the valves is locked closed, are there any easy checks I can do?

Have you checked these valves are actually fully open ?

My boiler man once suggested it would be a good idea to have the system tested before you buy a house. Why test the wiring and not the heating system?

 

[Anthony Mayfield]

You tested your wiring?

Thanks Old&Bold, I'll give that a shot when I get home. A few people in the other thread have warned that they might start leaking if I touch them but I guess the CH isn't working either way so might as well give it a shot.

Good comment but them valves need to be 100% open,they look like they have been ed about with by mr spanner numpty and his friends.

you need to remove the valves(they need some help to drop out) and have a peek inside (photo helps us) they have to be fully open,ok its not a straight forward job to remove the f&r valves some force will be required but its part of defect elimination process and a very good start point.

iirc there is a circlip behind the valves,these can be poked out and you will need new fiber washers that connect the valves to the bottom of your boiler.

There could be 10 years or more left in your linea but you need a vokera expert to maintain it,not a flue bgs-fga trained poker which is just a safety check.

Your boiler needs to be serviced to the makers instructions.

Why you post other threads re your vokera linea boiler,better to keep it in one thread.

Unless you are looking for paid advice.nudge wink

They were different questions so thought it would be better to split them out, I normally get told off for asking too many questions in the same thread not the other way around

I'm not sure about paid advice but I'll certainly be looking for a plumber sometime soon for the Plaistow area to install a new boiler.

Better in one thread. Test your pump.
