Mend Ideal Mexico Boiler Thermostat Hot Water

No water coming out of any hot taps?

Hi,

There isnt any hot water coming out of any of our taps this morning.

Yesterday I fitted a new mixer tap in the kitchen and everything seemed to be working fine, although it did look like there was a little less hot water coming out of the new mixer than the old.

One thing I did wrong was to connect the hot and cold pipes from the mixer the wrong way. Should this matter?

As I say, I have tried all the hot taps in the house and there is no hot water coming out at all.

We have the following:

1. Ideal Mexico Boiler
2. Honeywell Cylinder Thermostat L641A1039


The cold water is fine

Any help gratefully appreciated

Thanks

In this freezing weather I have no hot water to the kitchen tap, bath tap or bathroom sink tap. Also no cold water to toilet or bathroom sink tap. Could it be frozen pipes - I have cold water running to kitchen and bath. Any ideas or solutions would be great!

I have a similar problem. I fitted a new mixer tap in kitchen but have no water from hot taps any place in the house. All valves are open and header tank has water. I tried the hose to hot tap trick but get water coming out for only a few seconds after I remove he hose. I have tried leaving kitchen tap open and flushing through from bathroom and get water but again after nothing but a dribble till it empties.

Hi Plums,

Thanks for that. I tried to push the airlock out by blocking my mixer tap with my palm and opening hot and cold. It got the water working again, but after a few minutes it just dribbles out and then stops.

I have done this 4 or 5 times now.

Could it be something other than an airlock?

if water only dribbles out of the tap it may be an air lock . to fix wrap a plastic bag around the nozzel of the tap, turn hot tap on then turn cold on slowly.
