Got heating, cold water but no hot water

izoomzoom

Radiators are hot and have been on all day. The cold water taps run fine, but we get a small trickle, then nothing when we open the hot water taps ???

Any ideas what is wrong ?

izoomzoom

no we have a combi boiler

les43

google make of boiler see if it brings any instructions etc up
did that with mine and was able to sort my problem out

izoomzoom

am on hold to emergency home cover we have

in meantime, looked up fault finding and think problem falls under:

boiler not operating during hot water demand (CH ok).

possible faults inc
do flow sensor test
or diverter valve
or control board

18 minutes and counting (being on hold :mad:)

Not saying it's not a problem with the boiler but we had exactly the same problem 10 days ago and it turned out it was a iced over burst pipe, one day of thaw and it lep rip.

That was fixed but the same problem is back again today.

We have a combi boiler, if that means anything to the problem.

Hope I am wrong, for both of us.

It could be something as simple as a blocked inlet filter,
Or something serious as a scaled up heat exchanger....

We had this yesterday - plumber set up fan in the attic and sorted the problem (he felt pipe blocked rather than burst as no evidence of leakage), we left the heating on and the hatch open overnight (didn't feel comfortable running the fan up there over night, so its sweltering in here

This morning hot water from the shower but no water in all taps now we have hot water in the bath taps and shower but none in the hot water taps in the upstairs and downstairs sinks , I don't think we could make the house any hotter

Problem sorted. Man who installed our boiler two years ago popped by on his way to another emergency.

pipes were frozen, so we blasted them with a fan heater for an hour and whalla, HOT WATER :D:D

There are 5 pipes below our boiler, 1 gas, 2 for hot tap and 2 for radiators. Only gas pipe should be cold, rest should be hot - if not, possibly frozen (assuming everything else seems fine with the boiler).
