Hi all,
I awoke today to find that my central heating doesn't work so started googling and it has led me here, seems like a great site for this kind of thing.
I've been reading a few posts and here's what I've deduced, please tell me your thoughts.
At first I was getting no click from the thermostat so I thought that was the culprit, then I read a post where there was nothing unless the hot water was on so I tried that. The heating comes on and rads heat up, plus the thermostat is active.
Apparently this is down to a broken motorised valve, which may need replacing or just the head.
This is where I think the diverter valve is...
Bear in mind I'm a complete layman when it comes to this kind of thing. I assume it's the bottom left hand box.
The pump appears to be functioning as the rads heat up like I said....
From the labels on the boiler I have an Ideal Classic ff250 lxff
The motorised valve is an acl 2 port 679h308 30L1
Please let me know if you think I'm on the right trail and what's involved in replacing the valve if need be.
Thanks in advance
