Central Heating 3 Way Valve Question.

[twedspeed]

Hi my "LIFESTYLE" Mid-position valve has gone across to the "H" setting , And I,m sure the little black lever on the side of the box used to stick out the further than it is now ? -
And shouldnt the indicator be in "M" position?? ,
how do I get it back to normal.
Black lever appears to be stuck ?
any help much appreciated.

The valve will stop in the heating position until either hot water is called for or the programmer switches it off and then it should return back to its rest position which is hot water only. It will only go to mid position if hot water and heating are both called for at the same time. Sounds like the valve is stuck you need to isolate electricity supply and remove actuator and try and manually turn the valve gently.

It will do if heating is on only or last port of call.

The valve will stop in the heating position until either hot water is called for or the programmer switches it off

The valve will stay in H position until either W or W/H is called for.
It will stay in H position as it is being held in last position by 230v on the grey wire.
