hi there,

i have a glow worm energy saver combi 80.
as above, the hot water is working fine but the radiator is not heating up.
i tried changing to different modes and bleeding the radiator but it still
would not work.

can anyone please suggest what could possibly be wrong with it so i will
know what to expect when an engineer looks at it. i doubt it's the pump
because i hear the pump going on when the status changes to pump on.

manual can be found he

thanks for any help.

one rad or all of them ?

if it's all of them then I'd suspect the diverter valve is either knackered
or blocked with cak from the system.

All of them. thanks for the quick reply. though i'm not too sure what a
diverter valve is. is it the same as bypass valve?

well, it's a valve.

basically, it's the valve that determines which way the hot water goes

obviously, double check that it is the diverter valve that's kaput and that the
link I provided is the correct one for your boiler.

Had a similar problem... the pump was going but it's not quite right,
propping it up with a block of wood seemed to help somehow, also had
an electronically controll solenoid under the floor go once...
