Bermuda old back boiler no heat

[Mumchkyne]

Hi all.

I have a problem with my boiler and im about to smack it one. Pilot light is on we have hot water but no heating. I switch it on so the heating comes on but the boiler lights up getting it hot ..... For about 30 seconds then goes quiet and doesn't heat up. Were due to have it replaced in Jan as its quite old but we have 3 kids at home and one has a disability and needs a bath twice a day no i don't know what to do.

Any help will be greatful

Sounds like the pump is not working.
Check that the pump is getting 240 volts as it could be programmer or roomstat faulty.
Hot water could be on gravity system and not need pump to work.

Find the pump, turn the system off, screw the big silver disk with a screwdriver and see if you can get a screwdriver in there and turn it to make sure it hasn't jammed.

Edit..


Or before you do that when it's on you should hear/feel it working, if not bashing it with a hammer, lol sometimes works.
