Radiator making humming noise

Recommended Posts

If there is a thermostatic valve fitted it is almost certainly the problem. Depending on the brand of the thermostatic valve most of the heads unscrew (chrome ring just below the plastic part of the head). Take head off and see if the sound stops, if the pin is stuck in the original position the noise will continue. You can sometimes free the pin up just by hitting the brass angled part of the valve with a pair of grips. I wouldn't recommend you pulling the pin out yourself manually as some pull right out and you'll get wet!


Hope that sorts the situation!

Your system is showing 0 bar. Dial


Most systems operate at 1 - 1.5 bar.


Normally you can top this up by opening a tap.


As you have a separate pressure vessel and loosing pressure

you may well have a water leak in your system.


I'm not a heating engineer but have had some dealings with such things.


I strongly advise you to appoint a qualified engineer to take a look.


I'm sure someone here on EDF will pick this up.

Hi

Topping up pressure will help elimate any heat transfer problems through main heat exchanger

If problem still persists other faults are

1

Possible vibration through boiler heat exchanger

2

No system by pass or not set

3

Internal circulation pump

4

If noisy in operation at low flame , poor combustion setting

5

Main heat exchanger , is vibrating on housing inside appliance

6

Fan noise

( check co2 readings and non return diaphragm

Hope this helps

Used to work for Worcester bosch , so had many a noisy boiler

Ps

Possible case as well

Needs to be checked out if pressure does not help

All the best

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
