My C/H is not firing up, the water is fine. There is plenty of water in the tank and the rad have been bled. Help?

 

[kevplumb]

is the pump running

 

[jane71]

There is no noise coming from the system, other than the water heating. How do I check this? Thanks for your reply.

 

[kevplumb]

wolverhampton my old stamping ground

if you feel the pump is it hot or vibrating or both

 

[jane71]

Neither.

 

[kevplumb]

ahhh its either not getting power or it's gone to that big boiler in the sky

(just left of banks's brewery at the top of the tetenhall rd)

 

[jane71]

So if it's not getting any power, how can I check this and can it be fixed? If it is dead the water wouldn't be heating, would it?

You must know the Clarendon pub quite well then?

if you have and can use a meter easy if not , problem

never got further than the octopuss and the rollerdrome

the water may well be on gravity curculation

 

[jane71]

So, if I had a water meater it could be fixed, I don't, so it lookes like i'm stuffed then? It doesn't even try to fire up, not a drop of heat, freezing cold!!!!
Thanks anyway, i think i'll have to call someone in.

One last question: is there anything else I can check? is it worth shutting of the water, igni etc and re lighting?

electrical meter not ness fixed would help to pin it down tho

 

[jane71]

Iv'e just checked the pump again. it is warm!

 

[kevplumb]

right get a screwdriver put it on the pump and the handle pressed to your ear

what do you hear

are the pipes warm both sides of the pump

 

[jane71]

it's not making any noise that I can hear, the pipes are warm both above and below

 

[kevplumb]

sounds as if its gone to meet its maker

 

[jane71]

Do you mean just the pump?
