Potterton Gold H24 boiler issue

[shnix]

The Boiler is in the garage, the circuit for the electric supply to that and a socket in the kitchen tripped the fuse switch and since is not warming radiators.

The 2 bathroom towel radiators are warm but not hot, otherwise room radiators are completely cold.

There is power to the boiler and the copper water pipes are warm to the touch.

The boiler pipe is giving off steam outside.

Any ideas folks?

Only moved in this week, so completely new to the system.

Is it supplying hot water and heating ? If so probably a zone / diverter valve issue

Looks a lash up with the plastic fittings so, who knows what could be wrong with it! Needs looking at by someone who knows what they're looking for (and not).

Renting it or have you bought it?

Have you had it fully working since moving in?

Thanks for replying.

I bought it., it did work initially.

+1 as it could have a leak, hence the trip.

The house has immersion heater hot water tank

It has a hot water immersion heater

It has a hot water immersion heater

Ok, show us a photo of the cylinder please, think you’re getting confused or not understanding terminology. You have an immersion heater, but I’m guessing you use the boiler to heat the cylinder?

Did you know what caused the trip to the garage circuit? Was it unrelated to the boiler and pump?

With the lack of wiring on view in the photos, I'm wondering if it's an old gravity system without any zone/diverter valves?

OK, so you've had all rads getting hot and system behaving as it should?

Need to be checking for leaks as been said. Whatever tripped circuit needs discovering before moving to next steps.

How would leaks show? Anything I should look for aside from water?

Thanks for your help.

The immersion tank is upstairs, see photos.

The boiler is outside in the garage.

Thanks for your help

Your hot water cylinder should heat up via the boiler. It has flow and return going to it, to heat the coil.

Immersion should only be for backup
