Heatline 24 Compact boiler- fuse on pcb keeps blowing

[hunter32]

hi, i have a heatline 24 compact combi boiler. Only one of the fuse on the pcb keeps blowing every few days. i have noticed that the divertor is leaking water but some times it is bone dry. for example on saturday it was dripping and when i went back to it on Monday there wasnt even a drop of water. am thinking this may be the problem that keeps blowing th fuse.

Can anyone help and advise how to clean this and stop the water from leaking. also can someone explain why the water leaks from here?

Thanks

If the diverter valve pin gland is leaking then it will get into the motor and blow the fuse.

Best to remove the motor immediately before you completely damage it!

Gland needs to be replaced and pin cleaned.

Very common on Heatline because those who buy a cheap boiler get a cheap installer who does not clean the system.

If you dont know where it is then I dont think you have the skill resources to replace it.

Its under the motor!

Hi thanks,

i do know where it is. just wanted to confirm what the gland looked like not what and where the divertor is.

Am i right to say that the likely hood is that the pin needs to be cleaned and the gland replaced? can the gland be purchased from somewhere like b&q or does it have to be a plumbers merchant?
