Combi boiler, hot water but no heating

[Tyrone Edwards]

i have an Ideal Espirit 2 boiler, the water is working perfect but the heating is not working.
We had a new pump fitted about 12 months ago, I've had three tradesman in and they have all said sometime different; one said I needed a new pump the other said I needed a new programmer and the third said I needed a new boiler.
I'm sick of being ripped off, can someone please let me know if they have any idea what the problem could be
Thank you

What do you mean by not working. Can you please supply more information.

Ideal have a fixed price repair, if your stuck

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

As mentioned the water is working fine, the thermostat is bluetooth, the pump does not even fire up

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

I do know before we had the pump replaced, the iprogrammer got wet, the digits still show up so I assumed this to be fine
Could this be the issue?

 

[Harvest Fields]

What programmer is it?

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

It's the Esprit 2 35w - itime programmer

Is boiler showing any fault code ?

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

There's not fault code showing

Well as its working for hot water that means your Pump is OK, these did have problems with the control panel, but other things need to be checked on heating side not allowed to go into to much detail ! what did the other people check when they looked at your boiler ??

 

[Harvest Fields]

Random question but your thermostat is turned up isn't it?

I’m not sure what was checked, other than three different options, I’ve purchased a new control panel which should be here Monday, if that doesn’t fix it then I’ll replace the bluetooth thermostat.

I knew there was something I didn’t do
I’ve bought a new control panel which I’ll fit Monday and see what happens.
I’ll post the results

Sounds like external controls at fault. Simple test is to pull message wires out and put a link in. If programmer/stat at fault, your boiler should now run constantly on a heating demand

FYI you need to be gas safe

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

I’ve fitted the new itime programmer and still no heating
Next step replace the Bluetooth thermostat, does it have to be a specific thermostat or can I buy any one?

 

[Harvest Fields]

I do not think that the timer you have shown is Bluetooth? Do you have a receiver to go with the thermostat. If so can you post a picture. Cannot remember what you said in you previous posts.

I think it must be the problem created by the radiator.

Think what he has is a RF room stat not Bluetooth ! why is he messing around replacing parts that may not be faulty, any decent engineer can soon tell if the RF unit the problem,

That’s where I was getting. To mate. Probably external controls all along as somebody said in a previous post.

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

I’m not an engineer, I have had three different heating engineers look at this and they have all told me a different reason for the fault. The prices they have quoted to repair were stupidly high
This is a picture of the heating controls, apologies if I have given any wrong information previously,I am just trying to find an honest engineer, which is proving to be difficult

Decent/honest engineer? Easier said than done

Decent engineer are hard to find that’s why we say on here gonfor someone that is recommended to you. Is the light not the right of the receiver orange or red?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

That stat is rubbish replaced a few the range isn't what it's listed at try less than half

 

[Tyrone Edwards]

Does anyone have an idea of the rough price to remove the external stat and wire up to to main programmer
