How do I reset my boiler?

Follow these simple instructions to reset your boiler:

Refer to your boiler manual.
Push the reset button for 10 seconds.
Wait 2 – 3 minutes, the boiler should fire up.
Repeat twice if the first attempt fails.
If the boiler still fails to fire up on the third attempt, double check the gas supply.

Why is my boiler saying reset?

Usually, when modern boilers need resetting they will display a fault code or begin to flash a red or green light. These signals indicate that your boiler senses a problem, which is why it has stopped working and needs to be reset.

When to check for pressure drop in boiler?

Switch your boiler off and allow 4 to 6 hours for it to cool down. When your boiler has cooled, check the filling loop hoses are secure (they may need tightening). Top Tip! A radiator, expansion tank or pressure relief valve leak could also cause a pressure drop, so it’s worth checking these things, too. Open the filling valves.

What happens if there is too much pressure in the boiler?

Without the build-up of water pressure inside your boiler, it simply won’t be able to heat water. On the other hand, if there is too much pressure your heating system will also fail. No hot water means cold showers and a chilly home – everyone’s worst nightmare. Don’t panic though.

How can I tell if my boiler has too much gas?

Testing pressures here will determine if there’s a problem with the gas supply, and where that problem lies. Like gas valve faults that give too much or too little gas, a boiler will lock out and display a fault code if the gas pressure isn’t correct.

What to do if your boiler stopcock is not working?

If your gas stopcock is on but your boiler isn’t receiving any gas, or if none of your other gas appliances are working, then you should contact your gas supplier. You can then try relighting the pilot light yourself – ensuring you follow the instructions found in your boiler’s manual for igniting the pilot light.

Are there any problems with a gas fired hot water boiler?

However, gas-fired boilers are fairly reliable and, when problems do occur, they are usually related to the expansion tank or water circulation pump (s). Here are the major components of the boiler for a hot water (hydronic) system: Gas valve and burners : The combustion assembly that heats the water chamber

What does it mean when your boiler has a closure fault?

If there’s a closure fault with your valve, that’s going to mean that it’s “letting-by”. Essentially, that means gas is leaking into your boiler’s burner, when it shouldn’t be. If this is the case, you might see a range of fault codes being displayed.

What to do if your boiler valve is not working?

In some circumstances, there’s a chance that the pre-set adjustment of the valve that’s come from the manufacturer, isn’t what it should be for the boiler it’s been fitted too. You’ll need to get a Gas Safe boiler repair company to come and assess the situation with the valve.

Why is the expansion tank on my hot water boiler not charged?

The expansion tank must be properly charged with air to prevent water in the system from boiling and exceeding the desired 12 psi of pressure. The expansion tank provides a cushion of air to accommodate the expansion and contraction of water in the system. Without the cushion, the water may stop circulating and begin to boil.
