    Washing Machine problem

    Hi, We just installed a washing machine, a relative did it who has done several during their lifespan and has never encountered any issues. However we have just moved into a new property and installed one, but we cannot get any water flow to it. Water around the house works fine, including the hot water. Any ideas??

    New Central Heating System-is it air?

    Recently had a full heating system put in, oil boiler, vented system, rads upstairs, UFH downstairs. System is losing pressure, plumbers have come back once and vented it and reset everything, a week later no pressure again. I have topped it up from filling loop, bled all rads. UFH is working fine. Can’t see any leaks, when I was filling up PRV was releasing air, but now I am stuck. Rads cold, slightly luke warm hot water, plumbers say air just needs to work its way through system. Any help to either push air quickly or get some heat into rads would be greatly appreciated
