Worcester boiler pressure - Full guide: housewarm.co.u...
Using the plastic key to repressurise your Worcester boiler is annoying and can be very difficult, even for a heating engineer, but it has to be done on certain Worcester boilers.
Close the tap fully when you've reached 1 to 1.5 bar on the pressure gauge.

If your boiler keeps losing pressure, you have a problem with your boiler or heating system that needs to be fixed. Most commonly it's because of a leak.

Need to do from time to time, need a reminder how to do it each time. Appreciated cheers👍
You're welcome. Worcester boilers are the worst for repressurising so I understand how you need a reminder 💪
Thanks had the same boiler and fixed it within 5 minutes.

very helpful tip . thank you
👍
Had this issue on our old 24cdi where the pressure was always bottomed out all the time. It would have to put the correct pressure into the boiler before trying to start. Once it was running it would work ok but it would just build up more and more pressure the longer the boiler ran. In the end the boiler would immediately send the pressure all the way up causing the boiler to bang and pop. We had the entire boiler replaced by a new one
Sounds like an expansion vessel problem with the pressure keep rising but possibly other problems causing it to bang, replacing the boiler was probably a good decision
Should the key be turned to the lock symbol to top up and then the unlock when finished? Can you leave the key in there? Sorry, just inherited this boiler in new house. Thank you 😊
Yeah. Lots of people leave them in and I would if I had one
Cheers. Thanks for the speedy reply. 😊

Very helpful. Thank you
You're welcome!
I have this exact system but when I insert the plastic key all the way in and turn to the lock position, when I turn on the plastic tap to let water into the boiler, water just drips down from the keyhole, what am I doing wrong? Also my key doesn’t make any clicking noise when I turn to lock position, key just spins round 360 degrees
Sounds like you might not be pushing the key in far enough, they can be really tricky and annoying, even for full time heating engineers.
@@HouseWarm thank you so much for quick reply, I’ll give it another go, liked and subbed, thanks again mate

Does the boiler need to be off to do this
@@robertquadling7283 No, it's recommended but it doesn't have to be. You won't know the true pressure until the system is cold though as the pressure rises when the heating is on.
Is it normal to get drips of water when you do it ?
yeah its not uncommon, as long as it's not dripping when you're finished it's fine
I have the same boiler and just had a new radiator fitted. Since then the pressure keeps dropping. I can not see any leaks. Any idea where the pressure may be going? Thanks
The pressure relief valve might be letting water outside or there could be a leak on the radiator pipes under the floor.
@@HouseWarm Thank you
I turned the knobs and water poured out what did I do wrong?
The white knobs key was fine
The white knobs key was fine
Sounds like the key isn't in properly, it has to be pushed fully in and turned into position.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off it only went off 2 times then stopped
Get a new carbon monoxide alarm asap. Don't use any gas appliances until you do
hi does the boiler have to be switched off to do this?
No, it's recommended but it doesn't have to be. You won't know the true pressure until the system is cold though as the pressure rises when the heating is on.
i have the same problem but there is no key here
You'll have to buy a key if you can't find yours, or you can get a plumber to fit an external fitting loop on the pipes below.
thank you its a private rent so just waiting for them to come with a plumber
