Cooks Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have a Combi Boiler and all was well until I went to have a bath tonight and realised there was no water!, the boiler started flashing so has been re set and all looks well on there until we try to get water and then there's just cold. :( I love my bath in the evening so I am lost with a miserable hot kettle in the sink! pah!!! (the flashing lights indicated a 'dry fire' on the fault chart. I bet thats another huge expensise I dont need right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 is the water topped up in the boiler? Our old combi used to play up and hubby used to go out and "top it up" as apparently it had a small amount of water in it. Im not making sense am i?

Cooks Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 ours has a dial and I have taps below the boiler that I turn to increase the pressure (I thought) but it might be to let in water??? I dont know to be honest I was just told to make sure it stays in the green section, which I do.. LOL. I am not much help either... I want my bath!!!

Cooks Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 no not yet, but I have left messages on their numbers. It's only a few years old so it better not be condemned!
