Could someone please help me with some info on what the problem might be with our ch/hw system,at the momment we have no ch or hw. We have a standard boiler, not combi, its downstairs with hot water cylinder in the upstairs bathroom and 1 hot, 1 cold water storage in the loft.
A month or so ago only the radiators upstairs were coming on. I turned off all radiators on each unit and then turned on heating, and opened them 1 at a time, this seemed to resolve it. Then a few weeks later, when the ch was off, with only the hot water on a timer, the heating was coming on when the hot water was on. I gave the 3 port divertor valve a bang, thinking it was stuck, and the heating went off, hot water still working fine though. Then last week tried to turn the heating on, and no sound/movement of water, just a small electrical clicking sound. I was told it was the 3 port motorized valve, and should change the head or the whole valve. It's a siemans 322 with midpoint. I emptied the system of all water, and remove the old 3 port valve and replaced with new siemans 3 port motorized valve. The wiring was the same, so hooked it as before with same colours etc. Then filled the system with water, bled all the radiators, and turned on hot water, and boiler fired, had hot water seemed fine. Then tried the heating, it sounded ok, lot of water noises, and valve seemed to be fine, but boiler not firing. The next morning I noticed that the hot water is no longer hot, and boiler not firing for both. I have since emptied the system of water again, and refilled and bled all radiators, but boiler still not firing. The valve sounds like Its working fine, and when I choose either ch or hw there is a lot of water movement, though have noticed it sounds like there is water movemnet for few seconds then stops, then movement again then stops, in a rhythm. This is with the hot water on. Can anyone help with what may be the problem? Many thanks. The boiler Is proline, think it may be honeywell, can't see any presure gauge with the boiler. Usually can't see any plight light, though always fired up in the past. Cheers.
