Water Will Heat Up But Centeral Heating Will Not Work?

My Worcester Combie Boiler Heats Up My Hot Water But Will Not Heat My Centerl Heating. Pump Is Suspected How Can I Test The Pump ??
Georgia Newcombe, June 2008
Yes the circulating pump is prime suspect... You should hear a "hummm" from the pump or unscrew the large "plastic/brass " screw cap on the front of the pump motor. (you might get a few drops of water) Insert a screwdriver to the slot and if the pump is running you will feel the vibration/noise. If not, switch off and try turning this screw. If/when it turns freely try switching on again if not then it is perhaps a faulty pump motor or circuit.
(often the circulating pump will stick if old or residu in the water)
