Hot water

[gsymonds31]

Hi, my boiler works fine for the radiators, however it doesnt for hot water, if i run hot tap slowly the water comes out hot (only if the heating is on) but if i run it fast the water comes out cold.

Any ideas?????

Blimey... do people think we are psychic?

Please post as much info as possible.

It is a Baxi boiler, it has a dial which says tap/radiator and another which says tap. When it is on tap/radiator the heating works fine, but the water only comes out hot if you slowly turn the tap on, if you open the tap fully then the water runs cold, if the dial is on tap only the water runs cold all the time.

Hope this is enough information!!!!!!!

If not what more do you need?

The model?

I drive a Ford and my wife a Peugot. The Ford doesn't work. Now answer me that


Could be a flow switch, diverter valve, plate heat exchanger, thermister, the colour orange, don't know 'till you tell us what you have I'm afraid...


We're only trying to help you know.

Can you see the pin move on the flow switch(bottom left of the boiler) when you turn a tap on?

 

[gsymonds31]

Nothing at all happens in the boiler when the tap is turned on, nothing moves

Sounds like the diaphragm has gone in the pressure differential valve doodah.

Easy enough to do.

And how do i do that?
