    Oil Boiler keeps cutting out

    Postby gcjb » Tue Oct 09, 2007 8:36 am

    My heating system was drained and new radiators fitted, with new pipe routing in some cases. The boiler fired up fine but only run for a few minutes before cutting out and initially only heated the pipes upto to the upstairs cupboard where the flow and return pipes start to go off to the radiators. I have bled the radiators and after waiting 10 - 15 mins fired the boiler again only for it to cut off. The pipes are heating up further along the flow on each occasion I go through this process but the radiators no longer release any air. The boiler runs for approximately 4minutes each time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The Oil boiler is a Myson presure jet 50/70 and there is what appears tobe a thermostat dial that connects to the electricity supply and boiler, but it reads clockwise minus 15 to plus 10. What does this do (if not a thermostat) and what position should I set it to

    Cheers

    It sounds as if the system is airlocked. Check pump is running and vent pump.

    If still no luck, check for manual airvents upstairs, next to tank/cylinder.

    Also undoing the pipes of either end of the radiator and allowing them to flow into a dish or connect a hose, should help clear any air in the system.
