VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, can you locate the motor valves, usually in the airing cupboard, these are boxes on the pipes with a wire going into them, you might have one with three pipes or two with 2 pipes, Rick
the levers open the valves but only for system filling purposes, they do not open the valves far enough to operate the end switch, do you have a multimeter to check for mains voltage to the valve Rick
