Can anyone help, as I'm worried about the electrical situation:
Wife mentioned a buzzing noise coming from airing cupboard. I checked and found source of buzzing coming from Y plan 3 pos. diverter. (We were still getting HW, but no CH).
I have tried pushing the manual/auto button on the bottom of the valve - it pushes across easily, no resistance, but will not lock into manual setting, (but when I hold it over the buzzing sound stops).
I took off the cover and noticed that inside the cover it was blackened/sooty. I isolated the power to the valve (or so I thought - from fuse box - no buzzing sound) and wiggled wires on diverter to see if something had come loose....wiggle wires, heard crackling sound...........managed to blow the main trip for the house.
I have left the fuse off for the diverter switch (I think) - there's certainly no power to the control panel (and no buzzing sound from diverter)
1) Will this be OK overnight until I can call a plumber? (I realise no HW or CH)
2) Any idea what sort of money I'll need to pay to get fixed? I assume it will be less if they can just replace the motor?
(The number inside the cover says 40003249-002)
Thanks WG
