Hi, I have a Worcester Greenstar 30si, I noticed earlier in the week that that the pressure was right at the bottom of the green bar when everything was off, but went up and stayed in the normal area when the heating was on. The heating and hot water is working fine. (I have to top it up a little a couple of times a year, so it not like this pressure drop has just happened overnight)
I've just got up off night and decided to top it up a little, I made sure that the key went into the cutouts and turned it to the locked padlock icon, then turned the little square knob to allow the water to flow through, I topped it up so that it was a few mm into the green & turned the square knob to the off position, then turned the key back to the open padlock icon position.
When I tried to pull the key out it was stuck! I tried a bit of wd40 sprayed up around the rubber on the key and wiggled it back and forward to try and ease it out...it broke off!
So now I'm stuck with the key inside, I turned the white knob to see if it was leaking but it started to top the boiler up again (which I expected, so at least I can still top up as and when needed), so my question is: Will it be OK to use the boiler as long as the little square knob is tightly closed?
Sorry for the long post but I thought I'd try to answer any question within the OP.
Thanks in advance for your help.
