No Hot Water...

[Ric.ror]

this morning:-(
Not sure why but I'm guessing its the boiler
Is this the stage where I should ring the firm I pay a DD too or is there something I should do first?
I have checked the heating and that is not working too

Have you checked the pressure gauge on the boiler? If it`s too low, you need to put more water into the system.

237sj - thank you for that but I have absolutley no idea how to do a thing like that - would the boiler think it was a trival thing i it turned out to be that?

Is the pilot lit?

Mine did exactly the same on Friday. The timer had stopped working. I did ring the company and they suggested changing batteries in the timer. I couldn't find anywhere on mine for batteries to go, but yours might have them. I found a switch inside the airing cupboard labelled "mains boiler" which i have now put on and the heating, hot water and timer are now working. However, I'm not sure if that switch is supposed to be permanently on, the TV has switched off a few times and I'm wondering if it's overloading something. But yes, look for batteries, pressure (red and black hands should be at the same place) and check fuses and switches first.

I don`t know what sort of boiler you have but I have a combination boiler and there is a little gauge at the bottom. The marker in the gauge should be between 1 and 1 1/2 bars. That`s a measure of the pressure (I think). Mine has been known to go back to O and when that happens, the boiler won`t fire up. There is a little tap on a tube under the boiler and when I open it, that lets more water into the system and the gauge shows the correct setting and the boiler works again.

No idea Matt
What makes it worse is the second son is off for the weekend to a festival and wont be back until tomorrow evening and son and heir is not speaking to me this weekend - so I guess its strip washes for me till tomorrow

237sj - its a combi boiler (Vokeria I think is the name)
Pixie - I dont seem to be having a problem with any other appliances so I dont think its that

Can you give me the model name/number Ric?

Just to let you know
The pressure has been re-set, hot water restored and all is well with the world
Many thanks and good day to you all
