1st off - thanks very much for the help already provided.
BUT - I'm still having problems with my CH.
Quick recap.... I previously posted stating that I had HW but no CH.
It was helpfully suggested that I remove motor on 3 port valve and "wiggle" the spindle.
This I did and yes, the CH worked, but only until the timer switched off; in the morning the CH didn't come on!
Hmmmm... thought I, what can be the problem now?
It was suggested that the motor could be at fault. I replaced this, turned and turned on the system. £15 and a new motor later (and much teaching my 4 year old new words!!) the problem still remains!
When I turn on the CH, I can see the "spindle" move position in the valve, but it doesn't seem to move far enough to turn on the CH.
I can have CH when HW is on, but of course only until HW has reached temp.
I can't get CH on it's own!
I'm moving house 10 days time and so do not wish to spend ££££££'s, but my wife wants to leave CH working for the new folks!!
Any ideas now - is it possible that the microswitch is up the spout (as I've changed the motor), or is it something more drastic?
Is it something I can do myself with my rudimentary plumbing skills?
If it helps the valve in question is Tower 3 motorised port valve.
Thanks.
