Discuss Hot water to all of my house except master bathroom in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

It looks as if some part of your house is fed from the combi boiler, and the rest off the Unvented cylinder.

The easiest way to work out what is what is run the hot tap in the part of the house that is working. If the tap comes on the front of the boiler on the screen that means it's fed off the combi. If it doesn't and gets hot then it's fed from the cylinder.

I suspect that your main bathroom would be fed from the Unvented cylinder, hence why you might have no hot water.

Thank you, I can confirm that it must be an unvented tank issue as the tap symbol doesn't come on when I use the master bathroom taps.
Would this need an engineer? Or is there way I can look into this myself?
 
He’s got hw elsewhere as that’s fed from the combi, there will be a time clock solely for the cylinder that seems to just feed the main bathroom….
I can confirm the time clock is on and on correct date and time and the hot water schedule is working too

silly question, but are any pipes hot to the touch where they go into/out of the cylinder?

Have you tried pressing the 'boost' button on the upper (Immersion Heater) controller to see if you get electrically heated hot water after a while?

Is it conceivable that the system has been set in the past for just electrically heated hot water, and the bottom immersion has packed up?

I will try the boost button now,
There are no hot pipes at the moment, but before this happened the pipe I am touching on the image attached used to get hot

I mistakenly thought the upper controller was exclusively for immersion heaters, but I'm wrong, it's for combi systems.
I rashly assumed that the boost button would operate the upper immersion, but suspect it actually will trigger the boiler, in which case the experiment to try it will do nothing!

Try turning on the white switch for the upper immersion heater, below the one that's already on. That should temporarily give you some hot, but at electricity prices!

If the lack of heating the cylinder is down to the 2-port valve being faulty, you are going to need a plumber.
