He24 - removed rad now won't work at all

[DaveW]

Hi all, I removed a radiator downstairs to wallpaper when I put it back on the he24 will not fire up at all and shows an error code L9.
The pressure had dropped to 0 so I refilled the system. This happened when I removed a radiator before but last time I shut off all the rads except the one I had removed and fired the system while bleeding it which worked. Sadly this has not worked this time.
I am getting water from all of the rads when I bleed them.
The casing of the boiler does feel quite warm.
Help.

Air lock close all the rads except the closest to the boiler upstairs and then turn the heating on will heat the pump working should move it

As above

Tried this earlier but nothing was happening. When I tried to fire it up just got the L9 code again. Will give it another go now it has all cooled down.

 

[DaveW]

Just tried it again nothing happened except the display showed.
0.0
0.4
L9

 

[ShaunCorbs]

You sure you have pressure in the system eg around the 1-1.- bar

 

[DaveW]

Yes refilled from 0 to just over 1 bar. Scratching my head now.

Good old Isar He24.
We inherited it when we moved in last year. I have read how bad they are.

Jesus wept , I am a bloody mindreader .
Its an overheat code , its air . Try lift the pressure up slightly.

 

[DaveW]

Is that by just filling the system a bit more. It is showing at just under 1.5bar.
Thanks

 

[DaveW]

Just raised it a bit and turned the system on. Still just showing the error code.

 

[Steve weightman]

Maybe an idea to isolate the gas to stop it firing up so not to overheat while it gets the air out . Had this a while ago dryfiring

 

[DaveW]

Is that best to just isolate it at the mains then?

Its a tricky one , the gauges arent the most accurate, I would try up to 1.8 ish , reset it and go again , it might be enough . If it works after its fired open a bleed screw and get it down to 1 bar ( cold)
Pain when this happens, but we can go into the boiler , sorry I cant tell you what to do unless one of the mods ok’s it .

You are holding reset for a few secs aren’t you

 

[Harvest Fields]

If you cannot get it going. It has to be time to get an engineer in.

 

[DaveW]

Cheers. Really funny o e but there's no reset button on the control panel.

 

[DaveW]

Can't even see a reset button on it.

 

[townfanjon]

Its a small one Inbetween the two dials , unless yours hasnt got one .

 

[Sharp Point]

I know exactly what the problem is, but I’m not allowed to tell


I know, I’m a tease

It's got a different dial. Just figured it out.

 

[DaveW]

After resetting it the boiler tried to fill itself and went off. By the time I got downstairs it had fired up and we now have hot water and heating.
Thanks for all your input guys really appreciate your help.

It was just the air in the system, I just didn't realise that one of the buttons doubled up as a reset button.
