So at the the boiler there are two pumps one for the rads and the other for heating the water.
If the spindle isn't spinning then the motor isn't working and that was the case, I said can ya fix it? nope, its a throw away world, ya need a new one
The plumber said that the water should still warm up though, it isn't, anyways I've been doing the Wim Hof experience for the last 3 days!
Did the pump look like this?
I've three of these feckers in the house and one will need replaced.
There's isolating valves either side of it, so toying with the idea of doing it myself, but as they're in the hotpress and don't want to make a balls of it.
That's the one, I've two, but that they are in the garage...
Unscrewing that copper nut in the middle let me know that it wasn't spinning inside, after that I was stumped
I've a mate that loves all that DIY stuff, the easy stuff I've no problems with, But I know if I try and remove that and replace it there will be problems, pipes will need replaced and threads will be fecked and whatever else would go wrong will, with me.
Turn that pump on and go to the garage.
Give it a gentle tap with a hammer to see if that frees it up and if that doesn't work there's a wee red dial for the speed settings, it's normally set to the middle speed, but change it to the top speed and that might free it up as well.
It'll still need replace one way or the other, but at least you'll get some hot water for a day or two
Aye, will give that a go if the boyo hasn't changed it by the time I get home! Will have to put my prices up for refereeing
