    Manual or motorized valve not turned on? Air lock? Have you done any plumbing work recently? Have you any idea of the pipe work on your cylinder coil? Do you have separate zones for hot-water and heating? Pics would be a great help.

    The valves will have a manual override lever on them. See if you can find the valve that is on the pipe feeding the cylinder coil and and use the manual lever to open that valve. If that works you have a problem with your valve or something that's controlling it.

    And if the manual override does work then leave it off because if it's wired correctly then sliding it to manual should activate the boiler

    Is there an auto air vent on the coil. It could be closed and need to be bled. A few pics will help
