I have a gravity feed system using a Potterton Profile boiler, I have had no serious issues in the past 5 years I have lived in my house.
My wife accidentally left a bleed valve open on an upstairs radiator last night causing quite some mess as you can imagine. I am now attempting to get the radiators to heat up again but with no success.
We have 6 down stairs rads "2 fed pre pump" and 6 upstairs rads.
The 2 pre pump rads are toasty warm so this suggests the boiler is ok, the pump is defiantly running when the system is fired up but none of the post pump radiators are getting hot.
The upstairs radiators will not bleed, by this I mean I open the bleed valve and within seconds the air stops coming out but no water flows. I have sat with the bleed valve out of a couple of rads for 15-20 mins and no water still.
Any advice or a solution on this one would be welcome.
