Discuss Heating not working - Grundfos pump issue in the Central Heating Forum area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi all,

I have an old Combi boiler for which the heating has stopped working. The hot water is fine, and I think I've isolated the problem to the pump.

The pump is a Grundfos Alpha2, and it has usually has two numbers, but it is instead showing two dashes ( -- ). I think the propeller isn't spinning inside as there is no 'buzz' and the pipe above it is hot, but below it isn't.

Does anyone know if there is a simple fix for this for an amateur to do at home? If not, how much would this cost to repair?

Thanks.
 
It looks like you can lever off the electrics module and there is the usual rotor screwdriver slot underneath to give it a spin!
The beginning of this sort of shows it:

Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...
