Apologies if this question has been asked a thousand times but I am about to lose all my hair. I have a Potterton 60e boiler serving 6 radiators, 4 upstairs, 2 downstairs. At the weekend I emptied one of the downstairs rads as it wasnt getting hot and I suspected sludge. Since then I have had nothing but problems.
First the pump starting making a whinning noise, I therefore replaced it.
Now the flame on the bolier comes on for about 5 mins and then stops. I have tried all the rads and none appear to have air. There is hot water in the pipe between the pump and the boiler but only one radiator, which I think must be the nearest to the pump gets warm. The rest are cold. The flame ignitor also gets stuck on the Boiler is this a safety feature as it eventually releases?
Help would be much appreciated as it's getting cold!
