The Danfoss HSA3 three way valve is playing up on my elderly dads heating system, which it has done before but this time I cant get it to run normally.
Previously I have taken the actuator off and lightly lubricated the mechanism which has worked, but not so this time unfortunately.
Last time it played up the CH rads were heating up when the boiler was heating DHW, but now the DHW will not heat up whatever setting the programmer is on. The CH works ok as programmed along with the room stat.
With the actuator off the valve assembly, the valve spindle turns ok by hand and I wonder if it could be the actuator only that needs replacing.
Can anyone offer any ideas, thoughts or comments please?
Any help appreciated.
