Central Heating not working

[Jag10]

Hi and Happy New Year!!

I have worken up to the New Year with my central heating not working.

I have a conventional system (not combi).

I have a pilot light, i have set the termostat to high, i appear to have power as the timer is still moving ok and i have put the setting to constant but NOTHING.

The system doesn't seem to fire up for water or heating....... HELP!!

If, as I suspect, you have a white boiler, there may be a fault with it, or the system.

That's brilliant detective work TW don't know how you doit.

I would need much more information about the boiler and system.

Ok guys - i have an update.

I manually moved the diverter valve and the system has now jumped into life!!! - Good News!!

Bad News - i still get a banging news from the bolier (and yes TW it is white!!) its been there for a a few months now.....

Is this a simple case of a jammed diverter valve ... or is the banging noise related or the root cause?!?!?

sorry to work your grey cells early on New Years Day

Banging would usually be due to poor circulaion, pos pump, lack of water, blockage etc
