Hello! We have just moved into our new home and are struggling because the boiler wasn't working! We first of all had no display and with friends help changed the fuses in the circuit board which got the boiler up and running! We left it on overnight and we still have no hot water, haven't tried heating. We have got it on the warmstart system and it's all flashing correctly for that and you can hear the boiler kicking into action and the water temperatures set around 60 but it won't budge off 19... help?! The estate agents/previous owners are no help whatsoever as we've rang them and all they have come back with is there is a switch on the wall... if we don't get it working tonight to call them again

And the boiler model?
Calling the Agent will mean Monday!
Unless disclosed the sellers have sold the property with everything working.
Unless you want a weekend without water you may need to call an engineer and hope you can reclaim the cost from the seller.
When was it last serviced?

I know it may be a stupid question ! but you do have pressure in the system ? Look on gauge ? has any valves been shut off under boiler, Do you have gas ?
We do have pressure, it's Steady at about 1.1 I don't think anything has been shut off, will double check in morning but it's making all the right noises just not heating the water! No error codes coming up or anything. Today it rose from 19 to max 25 water temp in boiler. Gas supply to the house is fine
It seems the FAQ don't seem to have the bit on spinning pumps any more.
In fact they are not at all helpful any more.
You may well be able to search the web for seized pumps but I know that can be harder with a poor connection.

Surely you can Tell him how too then
I think the OP is a she and I don't get the impression they are very keen to open the boiler and try a DIY repair and indeed may not have the required tools.
If they call an engineer then he will find it a simple job to spin the pump IF that is the problem which seems very likely if the boiler has not been used for the last two months. But it might be something else.
The engineer could do a service to make his visit more useful. Otherwise if seized pump it will hardly take 10 minutes.
