Glow worm energy 15s help

finno · 20-12-2023 7:11pm #1

I am after bleeding the radiators as the heat was uneven in them.

But now my boiler is showing 0.0 Bar

And when I turn the heat on nothing happens and the is kind of a pumping noise form the boiler.

Does anyone know how to Pressurise a Glow-worm Boiler

Do you have a filling loop in the hot press. Usually a ½ meter length of braided chrome coloured flexible pipe.

Perhaps post some pics of the hot press.

Here is some picture of the hot press, is this what your talking about?

Open the black tap behind the gauge,let the pressure up to 1.5 bar then bleed your radiators. Turn off the tap then see if the boiler restarts.

I turned the black tap but nothing seems to happen I have it turned for 6 minutes so far

Did you turn it anti clockwise?

Follow this pipe back as far as you can. Is there a valve anywhere on it.

I have it turned anti clockwise. I turn the value beside the clock like gauge

The one-way-valve might be seized.

Tap this part with the back of a screwdriver with a few sharp taps and try the valve again.

Ok I tired that but unfortunately nothing happened.

should I turn on the heating while the value is turned?

No keep heat off.

Does the tap feel like it's turning very easily or does it take some force to turn? If its turning easily, it's probably cracked/broken.

If broken pull the tap off & use pliers carefully open it.

it turn easily as I don’t have to put much pressure to turn it

Should I keep,it off, heat and water till it’s fixed? As the water is set to come on 6am would that be bad for the boiler?

Ok I got it sorted thanks for everyone's help.

so I had to turn the black value and then turn the red value and then you can reset the bar.

Just in case anyone need help with this in the future.

I did ask if there was another valve on the supply...
