Hi,
I am looking for for some help if possible to avoid me buying the wrong parts if required.
My boiler is not staying fired up for either HW or CH. It will initially fire up for maybe 30 seconds-1 minute when I press the thermostat but will then shut off.
It is an open vented system. With a three port valve. The three port valve actuator is connected but has not been working for some time, I have manually had to turn the valve by hand. The heating was making some awful banging noises when the heating came on for a couple of weeks before this new problem happened. Once the heating was on for a few minutes the noises stopped.
The pump is not kicking in, when I disconnect the plug and reconnect it, it seems to try but then stops. It is a Grundfos Alfa 2L. I have bled this via the bleed screw and also taken it off to check for blockages. All appeared fine.
I have bled all radiators, I have one currently off the wall as I was replacing it a few weeks back. (This is when the knocking when the heating came on started).
The F&E tanks looks fine, no blockage to the feed.
Any thoughts on what else needs to be tried? Air lock somewhere?
I have no bleed valves on radiators to drain it down fully.
