    Hows it going? I have a problem with my solid fuel stove and I was hoping that someone would be able to give me an idea of what's wrong. It's a solid fuel stove with a boiler in it so when its lit it heats the house. I lit it a couple of hours ago but all the radiators are stone cold and the overflow pipe is working overtime churning out hot water. What could be the issue? Any suggestions welcome! Thanks

    Is the circulation pump kicking in? Is there a bubbling noise from the back of the stove?

    Circulation pump must not be working , or the stat is set too high or not working.

    Thanks for the replies lads. The circulating pump has a little switch on it that was set to 3 - what's the purpose of that? I switched it from 3 to 1 and back to 3 again and that seemed to fix the issue. Does that mean its definitely the circulating pump and that it's on it's way out? I'm not a plumber and I know feck all about heating systems so I'm going to have to get someone to take a look at it for me anyway

    1-3 are the speed settings which impact the flow and pressure the pump works to achieve. By switching them its possible you got the pump moving after being stuck or else its simply on the way out and showing signs of a fault.
