the pipes feel hot around the upstairs cylinder tank, downstairs the boiler turns on but then cuts out again. just no water from any of the hot taps, no heating either.

Id be checking electrical, focusing on the valves and pump. As for no hot water, seems strange as u say the pipes feel hot, as hot water usually works on a gravity basis, cold water in the header tanks forces out the warm water through the tank and to your taps, so check that there is water in the header tank, may have a seized ball valve

the ball valve works, and so does the electrical one i think as i can hear it, as with the pump, it is making a sound.

The radiators have nothing to do with the hot water, so bleeding them is not going to help. You also refer to pump are you meaning a circulator for the heating? Again this has nothing to do with the hot taps. Has plumbing work been recently done it may be a air lock or blockage.

no offence but you havnt got a clue and are fumbling around in the dark
call a plumber/heating engineer

 

[david williams]

do you meen not water at all ,or no hot water coming from tap

 

[Jimbob]

from the sounds of things, you need an engineer.

got an heating engineer round, took him 3 hours to find the problem and he said he had never seen it before. The air flue in the water cylinder was blocked, so he just poked a bit of wire down it and then it worked. we were just about to buy a new cylinder when he said we might aswell refill the system and then we could hear a hissing sound, and then he realised. I would never have noticed that myself

i used to have one of those but the gigling pin fell out of the laughing stock

 

[newbie1]

ts not the air flue its the flux capacitator with the giggawatt set too low it needs to be set at 25 megacycles for the catalytic convertor to rotate the megacyclonic flow convertor

Hi, we recently had a similar problem after draining down our system, all working fine after refilling ,but next morning no hot water no central heating ,problem was a air lock in the jumble of piping some loon had originally fitted ( not a Plummer I eventully found out but some one part of a self build organisation) the air lock caused the Boiler to overheat and the Safety cutout, cut in, switching the boiler off.The air lock cleared it's self during the overheating and the problem was solved by re setting the safety cut out on the boiler.No problems with it since, of course yours may well not be the same but it sounds very familliar
