Central heating not working

[nicki]

Just changed a spigot elbow on a radiator (second floor). Switched central heating back on but all radiators are cold on all three floors. Its a fairly new build combi heating.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

All rads have been bled, pressure okay.

Thanks,

Nicki

What boiler is it?

 

[nicki]

Its a Glowworm 15hxi

Also the boiler downstairs is not working. Prior to changing the elbow everything was fine.

 

[Thoggy]

So you have a boiler on each floor?

hxi combi heating????

you sure

 

[nicki]

There is a boiler downstairs in the kitchen that controls the water temperature and there is a tank/boiler in the airing cupboard on the first floor with on/off switches for water and central heating.

Sounds like you may have open vent boiler if hxi ,

probably have an air lock

hxi combi heating????

you sure

Yes its definitely the glowworn 15hxi, not a combi

well if i am reading your original post right then sounds like you have air in system , i would guess you dont have enough knowledge to try remove this probably best to ask friend or post location to get a decent heat engineer in to push it out imho

Air lock sound likely, give a plumber a call in the morning.
