Grasping at straws - Plumber to fix heating on 11th July!?

Pauline_P_2

Hi

My Warmflow Oil boiler has stopped working and the reset button isn't working.

I've no immersion water heater in the house (strange I know) so I'm currently without heat or hot water and am worrying that given the time of year I may have to struggle without either for some time

Don't suppose anyone knows an accommodating Plumber/Heating Engineer they can recommend who covers the North Down/Bangor area please?

I'll phone Warmflow in the morning but what chance they'll be able to send someone out on the 11th July

Many thanks as always folks.

From their site:
My boiler has stopped working but the red light on the front of the burner is not illuminated. What does this mean?

This may mean that mean that the high limit thermostat has been activiated.
The radiator temperature is regulated via the boiler control thermostat. The thermostat is user adjustable from 55°C at its minimum setting (dial‘0’) to 85°C at its maximum setting (dial ‘5’). In
order to provide an additional level of safety there is a high limit thermostat which has a cut off point of 110°C; this is factory set and is not adjustable. If thermostat trips it needs to be reset manually.
If the high level thermostat trip has operated, remove the reset cover by using a coin or screw driver (turning anti clockwise) and press the small red button now exposed. Do not press the reset button while the boiler is still hot as this will cause damage to the thermostat.
In combi appliances the high limit reset is located under the boiler’s control panel.
I have encountered this high temp cutout problem. It is quite common and if you can find the reset you will probably not need a plumber

I used Belfast Plumbing Services last year to replace a leaking hot water tank & immersion heater. His name is Peter, and he did a good, neat & tidy job.

Thanks for the helpful replies folks.

I am getting a red light on the front of the burner so I think that means its not the high limit thermostat (if I understand the Warmflow site info correctly).

I'll give your recommendations a shout and hope someone can get out before they presumably beak up for the holidays.
