Re: heated towel rail stopping working

[Claudia14]

My towel rail is not electric but separate to central heating and has been working consistently but since the 2 port valve was replaced on Monday because the radiators were not working it has stopped working, if I go into the loft and press the flame button on and off it seems to come back to life but goes off again eventually. Any advice as to what I can do please?

That valve replacement seems to have affected your towel rail working... First off, check if the valve settings were correctly adjusted for your towel rail. If pressing the flame button temporarily fixes it, then chances are there could be an airlock or the valve isn't opening properly. Try bleeding your towel rail to remove any trapped air. If that doesn't work, you might need to get the valve checked or readjusted by a professional.

Thank you. So if I turn heating on that also seems to bring towel rail on even though they’re not on same valve.. it’s also started a small leak on red container that says something ‘clean’?

With two issues following someone working on the system it would not be unreasonable to ask them to come back.
