Boiler Key snapped Worcester 281 Junior combi

[leanne17]

Yes I've tried the pliers - no luck unfortunately!! Thanks all for your responses...I'll get hold of my local plumber tomorrow to come and sort it out!! Just needed reassurance that I could still use the heating system until such time that he is able to come.

as long as you havenot incresed the presure to much you will be fine. the key is to make the link on the filling loop if it is ot in place you will not be able to fill the system as the water would just come out off where the key goes.

It's the little grey knob that lets water in to the heating system, as long as you've closed this you should be able to operate the boiler in the normal manner.

It would be wise to get the key out and a replacement key.

You need a gas safe registered plumber to fix it for you really and truly.if you tell them your problem and what boiler you have they could probably get it and do a service at the same time if it's due. (At extra cost obviously)

I've got the same problem, but the grey tap has sheared off...I need help for this...What should I do?

Panic! :willy_nilly:



Then call a local gas safe engineer who will be able to repair and make safe.

I think Worcester do a conversion kit for this useless piece of design...get your engineer to quote for the upgrade
