How do I bleed the pump? It's running but not circulating water after partially draining the hot water heater.

Domestic Central Heating, Dodge Caravan, well pump or a Pool Heater, or something else. All questions need 'make model (what it is)' as first 3 words. With the exception of the Dodge Caravan, pumps have a small bleed screw. Google make model bleed pump or if it is an above ground well pump make model prime pump This is heavily weighted towards vehicles, but you will get the ideal of the power of Google! https://www.google.com/search?q=%E2%80%8Bmake+model+bleed+water+pump ..

Towerchron QE2. Timer set up ok. Room thermostat set 25. Timer lights ok at set timings. Boiler will not come on

Call for Service. The timer is fine, the boiler has failed. I presume it is gas fired, which means that only gas registered service techs can work on it.

Paloma tankless displays error code C7 38. already removed remote and tried it still shuts off after a couple of minutes. any help?

The issue of the Paloma tankless water heater displaying error code C7 38 may be caused by several factors, including a problem with the thermistor or temperature sensor, an issue with the gas valve or gas pressure, or a malfunction with the control unit or circuit board. To troubleshoot, try checking the thermistor and temperature sensor, and verifying the proper functioning of the gas valve and gas pressure. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or service.

Is the power button on my xtreme electric heater supposed to keep blinking.

The circuit is about to overload and the break could turn off due from too much electricity being used.The circuit is overloading or there is a problem with the panel needs to be replaced or the wires for your heater could be frayed or have tears in them and need to be replaced.

Need a manual for drayton tempus 3 heating control

I've ended up with a Drayton Tempus 3 when I bought my house, and I think this is how it works. It allows you to set 2 Timers (I'll call them timer 1 and timer 2) so that you can control Hot Water or Heating On/Off times twice a day. The unit has 6 buttons - 2 for Adjustment, 2 for Hot Water and 2 for Heating. The 2 Adjustment buttons allow you adjust the Clock Time, or allow you to adjust Timer 1 and/or Timer 2. NOTE: Timer 1 is the time refered to on the Heating / Hot Water Select buttons if you press "Once". If you select "Twice" on these the both Timer 1 and Timer 2 are taken into account. For example if you want Hot Water to come on Once between 8pm -10pm, but you want Heating to come on Twice between 6am - 7am, and 8pm -10pm, you have to do the following: Set Timer 1 to 8pm - 10pm, and set Timer 2 to 6am -7pm. Then select Once for Hot Water, and select Twice for Heating. Hope this helps.

Electric Water Heater blows fuse, but only every few years

Your residential water heater is not 9000 watts. Or it would blow the fuse every day and melt the wire. Instead, you have dual-element non-simultaneous 4500 watt water heater.http://waterhatertimer.org/How-it-works.htmlhttp://waterheatertimer.org/Figure-Volts-Amps-Watts-for-water-heater.htmlLook at label for 'total connected watts'http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Whirlpool-energy-smart-watt-rating-IMG_2600.jpg25 amp breaker or fuse and 10 gauge wire is minimum acceptable for 4500 watt water heater.http://waterheatertimer.org/Color-code-wire.htmlTroubleshoot blowing breaker or fuse:http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-troubleshoot-electric-problems-with-water-heater.html#trip-breakerWhy does it blow fuse once each year?? I don't know.Fuses and breakers trip when overheating occurs on wire.Each fuse or breaker is rated for heat, and over time, it will get hot and then cool and then get hot again ... this action weakens fuse or breaker.To solve problem: install 3500 watt elements (and clean sediment out of tank). Wire will run cooler, and fuse will last longer. Whole fuse box will demand less power, and run cooler, and will last longer as a result. So there is less stress on electric service panel.http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-replace-water-heater-element.html3500 watt element will heat water to same temperature, but takes longer. For example: 4500 watt heats 21 gallons per hour, while 3500 watt heats 17 gallons per hour. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

Why is the gas not going to the burner?

'make model (what it is)' in all question please Rick. All of the gas passageways in a fridge are very small. If you removed the gas valve and associated pipes, it takes a long time for the gas to bleed through and get from the gas line to the pilot light and that is needed to heat the thermocouple and allow the gas valve to open. It should also be mentioned that all work on Gas appliances should be undertaken by a qualified and registered gas technician.
