Range Powermax 155 HW but no CH

[Wynthorpe]

Hello,

Need a little help please, we have the above boiler and this morn the fuse went when the CH came on, pump seems very hot and unable to turn with screwdriver, looks like it had been "bodged" by last owner as only two bolts in the case and some ones own cut paper gasket between the housings.

When i took the plug out there seemed to be a lot of water come out (very hot), is the CH system under pressure at all?

Will a Grundfos 15/50 do the job to replace the pump? will it need re presurizing after fitment? Im not a boiler fitter but very handy around the house and have several mates who are plumbers to call on if i need a helping hand.

Thanks for any advice or help,

Simon

Didn't these come with slotted pump valves?

Im sorry for wanting to try and repair something and save a bit of money, Why come across as a tool for no reason?

What pump is on it now the old ones had wilo golds on so you end up changing pump and valves. If it's a grunny just drain down and change the head

Here's what's on at the minute.

Rebranded Wilo, but you're in the territory of "if you have to ask, you shouldn't try."
