I have a conventional "old-fashioned" gas-fired boiler and hot-water cylinder with secondary central heating.
On Sunday evening, the circulating pump (a WSP Gold model) failed .It was most likely the electronics in the speed controller attached to the pump - a bad "burnt electrics" smell was present close to the unit and the inline fuse in the switch to the control panel blew. Replacing that fuse, but leaving the heating off showed that the control panel was ok. Similarly the motorised valve seemed unaffected.
Since the pump is in a relatively accessible position in an under-stairs cupboard, I had hoped replace it myself, but neither myself nor anyone else I know locally has the correct spanner to remove the nuts between the 38 to 22mm conversion and gate valves, and the pump flanges themselves. In fact, I can't find anywhere that has them in stock around Bradford!
Obviously, I need this resolving sooner rather than later (i.e. before it stops being so mild)!
I have the advantage of working locally, so I have more flexibility in being present to let an engineer in.
I've phoned a couple of people I was recommended today, but I'm still waiting for replies (it obviously being the busy season!) Hopefully I'll be able to post back to state I'm sorted if one of them does get back to me soon!
Thanks for reading,
James.
