Default Strange noise from radiator


"Adam-the-Kiwi" wrote in message

Hi All,

We've just turned our heating system back on for the winter - boiler is
a Baxi Combi 133HE Plus. All the radiators seem to be heating up as
expected and, as yet, none appear to need bleeding. This morning,
however, we noticed a fairly loud buzzing coming from the bathroom -
the radiator was vibrating and this appeared to be the source of the
noise. The radiator in the adjoining bedroom was also vibrating, but
much less so. The noise appears to be linked to the pump, but the
boiler itself does not appear to making any unusual noise.

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to the cause?

Cheers - Adam Cheney


Try changing the speed on the pump. They are usually two or three speed and
a lower one for a while might let things settle down. Probably just a
sympathetic system vibration from the pump which has altered over the summer
as pipes have furred up or sediment has settled somewhere.
