For how long?
He tried to reconnect it in case it somehow miraculously fell off it was knackered. The previous owners didn't even have the system flushed before fitting new boiler
No definitely won't be, ill show the other guy on Friday exactly what has been done, so he can go through his process of elimination
Does it move easy to the wall (you will have to move the lever) etc when the heating or hot water is on ?
I'll have a go in the morning as the system SHOULD wake up (fingers crossed). I did just turn boiler on and it was doing it's usual...lights on ,making noise ,no hot rads. So we'll see in the morning ♂️
And the award for idiotic installation position goes to .......
So you’ll be changing the whole valve every time then rather than just the actuator if that darker copper pipe is as close as it looks😱😳
Yep it was loose when I moved it towards the wall, with the heat and water on
Ok
Just had a look in the airing cupboard while I await the engineer I noticed that the wires from the central heating pump and cylinder thermo are touching hot piping...could this potentially be a reason for tripping out? Or just previous shoddy workmanship
Wait for the engineer
I await patiently......Something new happened to the system yesterday, as well as tripping out it also took out the sockets around the house.
Unless they’re bare wires I’d say no chance
Ok.
That would cause it to trip
He's going to make a single connection. Into the socket
He suspects the 3 way is knackered. Testing another, without installing
Valve seems working now, it was the junction box he suspects was the main problem....fingers crossed
Keep telling People to reed the boiler instructions when job is started first thing it says in instructions is do electric safety checks resistance to earth so on and so forth when you do a full install or a new boiler or change over Anyways first engineer could have checked components on boiler like pump so on and so forth to find if there was a fault in boiler and if a 12 way wireing junction box this made it all the better for me it just shows what type of engineers are out there all to do with guess work this goes on here in Ireland but I taught we were pass all this in UK just shows how wrong I was Hope you get boiler sorted
