Thermia Elpanna / Element

[Dav Davi]

Hi there, I’m sorry if I can’t write my question in Swedish. We have a Thermia Elpanna EPT13 . Make story short: I removed myself (big mistake ) one of my home radiators we didn’t need it, the radiator had 2 pipes the top one with thermostat,bottom without, So I shortened and blocked with Kopling/End cap ... but I didn't connect them because I wasn't sure, now I have 2 questions: I turned on boiler/panna , the water it’s hot , it's great, but none of the lamps turn on, not even the green lamp, - the heaters don't work either, (in fact, the pipes are old and look like iron because they're not brown copper). Thank you in advance for your cooperation

There is an overheat protection on the top right, if you press it, it must be pressed hard. If it has triggered, a click will be heard. You say that something is hot, do you mean the hot water or in the pipes to the elements

Yes, hot water is a separate part and has nothing to do with the heat.
Have you checked the fuses for the boiler. Switch all 3 and see what happens. There is zero pressure in the heating system, the manometer is at zero. You have to add more water, the pressure should be about 0.8 bar now that it's warm outside.
Then the elements can be aired. Keep an eye on the pressure then. it sinks when aerating and needs to be topped up with more water

No haven’t checked fusses, don’t know where are they ? I could check them when I get home

The fuses are in the main center 3 pcs, I think it might be a gray 16 amp or blue 20 amp indicator. sometimes the indicator doesn't want to jump out, but replace all 3

Many thanks Jonas, I’m in the way home, I will check it soon. But a friend of mine saying. When you remove a radiator, you also need to connect radiator pipes together, otherwise the water don’t get passed to the other/next radiator

Yes, that's right, if you have what is called a 1-pipe system, there must be an over-coupling where that element has been sitting. Looks like this. But can differ a little on the make of the element
