So as a single woman. I hate to be beaten my "man jobs". So yesterday I decided bleeding a radiator can't be hard. Wrong water everywhere. Never mind clean up. Today. Heating won't come on. So look at boiler fault. Read manual says bleed radiator. So I did air this time. Went back to the boiler still fault. Now I'm angry. Upset and frustrated. Sometimes I just need a man!!! |

Check the pressure gauge, you may just need to top up the water in the system. |

Done that one as the pressure did drop after I lost all the water from the first time I tried to bleed the radiator |

there should be a a small valve on the pipe work just under the boiler. If you do a half turn on it then system should repreasusrise

Turn all your rads off. And open the one you've just replaced. See if that works first.
Reset your boiler and check the pressure is on.
Now bleed you New radiator.
But I'm a million miles away trying to dagnose without seeing it. I'm only guessing. |

No, just Google an online tutorial in future 
I've done tree surgery, rewiring and book binding via that.

Ah, yes, what you've probably done is bled the radiators causing the pressure to drop off in the boiler.
Depends on your make of boiler but there should be a valve or two that you'll turn - briefly - to add extra water/pressure to the boiler.

its not about gender, its about expertise in the field and many women are excellent heating engineers..
don't be too hard on yourself and hope you get it sorted.. |
