Greenstar Ri No filling loop

[lukeadams]

hi all so I have an update, another engineer appointed by the council visited yesterday, I wasnt in when he arrived but he apperantly fixed the boiler Not sure exactly what he did but the radiators were still warm when i got in from work however another issue has arisen since he left.... the feed to the cold water tank seems to have an airlock in it, tank is empty and water is dripping into it, the mains supply is fine in the kitchen sink. Not sure how to fix an air lock in the feed to the attic tank. Google only has results when its the taps that have the airlock and not the feed to the tank. Anyone have any suggestions on what possibly could have happened and how to fix... i realise without knowing what he did its not much to go on

Call them back out

Throw a gall or so of water into the tank until its sorted out, this tank should never need topping up once filled.

Is the ball valve stuck up in the air?

If so push it gently down and it should start refilling.

issue still ongoing, appeantly the boiler has a very slow leak in the syphon/trap. also the main tank in the attic isnt filling so once it empties we've no water at all upstairs. Apperantly the engineer had to order the part from the UK and we are currently expecting him to arrive today with the part to fit it not holding my breath though. Cant for the life of me understand why he is opting to replace a part in a 10 year old boiler rather than recommending to the council that its replaced. Boiler was commisioned into service on 29/03/2012.

...cos it's a perfectly serviceable boiler that just needs a relatively simple fix.
