hi, i have hot for radiators but not through taps, i took out diaphram and cleaned which was ok, manual says it must be micro switch as when i press the metal rod with my hand and push the switch down it fires up, although i still have no hot water when i do this. what should i buy to fix this?, many thanks
 
Perhaps you need to buy a boiler engineer?

There are many other aspects to a combi giving hot water than just the diaphragm!
 
i will need to try that one cleaning a diaphragm :roll: why go to all that trouble and not change it they are only about a fiver.

the manual says to change the dhw micro switch

Common sense you order the bit before you strip it down after asking advise on what the cure is.
Pray tell where you gained the info that cleaning a diaphragm would cure a boiler fault .

And it doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out it cannot be the microswitch if it fires when you manually press it :roll:
