Same

HI , its best to top up when the system is cold and the programmer is off

If your incoming pressure isn’t the best, say 1.5 bar for instance, then you can’t fill your system any higher than that

Pull harder, me got same problems

Does anyone have an answer for this?

Mine is now like this, was you able to solve this? #JediRabbit

@@nicolettebarratt8315 yeah through brute force, was scared I was going to snap it off. Maybe try and get a bit of wd40 on there but be careful.

Thank you so much for your reply

I have same problem, keyless no blue lever but red lever at the back

Any resolve? Same problem here

@@ariesvibration same here…did you manage to fix the problem? Thanks!

I have the same problem did you find out how to repressurise

Any ideas I’ve got sane issue

Mine's the same. I pulled it down hard and it started letting water in, then it wouldn't switch off fully until I tapped directly upwards using a hammer. Pressure by that time was way too high - getting up towards 3. I had to drain at least 2 pints to get it down. I think I'd like to remove this thing tbh.

@@smartiepancake thanks for replying much appreciated, from your experience and my trepidation I’m gunna leave well alone and let the experts do it . Thanks so much for sharing this with me it’s been so helpful 👍🏻

You can expect the pressure to rise a bit higher when the heating is on as water expands when heated. It should not be going too high (over 2 bar) though. If it does there might be a problem with your boiler.

Bleed the radiators using the bleed screw and this will lower the water pressure in the system

I've been looking for a similar answer. My boiler is less than 3 years old and has had the issue from day one. First, the operation of the lever differs from the manual, which suggests it should be able to go to 90' from its resting position. That appears to be misleading. Second, the ability to fill and the speed of it will likely depend upon the pressure differential between mains and boiler. Our mains pressure is not particularly high and our boiler is in the attic, so filling is more difficult anyway. Finally, I suspect that there is a common fault in these lever controlled valves, but Worcester won't acknowledge it. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Not good!

@@kravdraa7 Yeah mate its weird isnt it. Ours isnt very old at all either, probably around three years as well. I can remember doing it at one point and it working but the last couple of times ive tried, nothing.

Mines a week old and already its saying low pressure, the blue switch does nothing at all

@@davidsalter4324 I have discovered a way to get some filling, which might help you. You need to temporarily 'jam' the valve open (I did this with a piece of foam lagging) and then repeatedly turn on and off another tap, on the same mains feed. I think a rapid turning off the tap may assist. I believe there is a slight and sudden increase in pressure just as you turn it off and that helps to push water into the system. Once you get it up to an acceptable level, you can return the lever to normal. I actually left mine open for a couple of days and this has been the only way to get my system filled!

@@kravdraa7 So glad I found your comment! Very slow to refill but nothing was happening until I tried the tap trick. Thanks for sharing this 2 years ago!

is "up" off ie no water filling?

Yes, up position is off or closed. To pressure or full the radiator system you pull the leaver down and simply let go to stop. Sometimes it gets stuck and it keeps on filling resulting in too much pressure.

@@ThermionicValve exactly what just happened to me :-) cheers. I tapped it back with a hammer. the return spring is obviously not up to it.
