Firebird hot water problem.

[twiff57]

Hi I have a Firebird combi and have recently bled the rads and then topped up the pressure. Immediately after this the hot water stopped working, the taps started running for about 20 secs and then stopped completely. Now no hot water at all but central heating is still working fine. Any advice as to what to check and how? Thanks

Do you mean hot water stopped or no water came oudt of taps
If no water came out of taps I would say you turne off the wrong tap there are two near the one end of the filling loop. One turns the water off

Hi twiff57

Where are you based and are you an heating engineer?
Also, have you accidentally isolate cold water inlet to the boiler?

You've closed the wrong tap on the filling loop.

as above. the 20 seconds was the pressure discharging.

It happens..... I can guarantee every single one of us has forgotten to turn the oil back on after a service and stood there, head scratching...........
