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

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
