Hey guys,
Just after a second oppinion on this one before i visit on monday,
i removed a radiator for a customer last week, upon refilling the system i found that EVERY pin on their trvs was stuck down. thus the boiler couldnt get rid of the heat and was over heating as the rad i removed was the only rad in the house with no trv, effectively the bypass, anyway i managed to pull the pins up and got the heating going nicely (however the boiler did overheat a couple of times before i got it going,
the customer called me today to say that since my visit the pilot light goes out at the end of the heating cycle which he has programmed in his timer, the boiler is an old one with manual pilot light. im wondering if the over heat phial has become damaged from when i was trying to figure out why the heat wasnt going anywhere and so now it breaks the electrical connection between thermocouple and gas valve. it just seems weird how it works perfectly until the timer knocks the heating off and then the pilot goes out every time.
whats your take on this one guys?
