When the HW and CH is on - where should the leaver on the valve be positioned?

Hi Chris Thanks for that - it must be a wiring issue rather than a plumbing issue.... When i looked at the programmer wiring it looked ok. I'll take a look at the Cylinder stat, not entirely sure what to look for - but i'll do my best :) Thanks for the advice, been brilliant so far :)

Stan, Cheers for the reply, I took a look at the programmer and its been wired correctly. I have a room stat and its switched up to 30 degrees. Makes sense about the white wire. Think i will have to get someone in! I spoke to the previous owner of the house and he said that the CH was...

ChrisR - thanks for the reply. When I took the metal cover off the valve, the wiring looks fine (and looks ok since i changed the syncron motor) Not sure how to check the spindle - could you describe it to me?

ok just done a test with the programmer and lever. CH only - Lever in Auto position, when moved to Man Open it stays there. Rads Cold HW Only - Lever in Auto position, when moved to Man Open is springs back. Water Hot CH and HW - same as HW only CH and HW - hooked to stay at Man Open...

Hi My CH is acting a little wierd and could do with some advice. I have a honeywell 3 port valve. When I pop HW and CH on the lever is in the auto position and the rads remain cold. I can move the level to 'man open' but it springs back. If i hook the lever into 'man open' the rads will...

cheers Tony - will give it go tonight!

Hi I have probs with my CH. The HW is fine however when i switch the CH on at the programmer the boiler does not fire. So not heat in the rads. I move the lever on the valve head (honeywell V4073A 3 Port) to open and it slide back to auto it self. So i tied it lever to open (via a wire...

I don't think so - is there anyway that I can check? I don't know of a way to switch it on (havent seen a switch for it) Didnt have time last night to check the programmer wiring, so will do that tonight

actually this is the newer version of my programmer - http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/763-16645

I think i might actually get a new programmer as the one i have is horrible - looks about 20 years old. I might go for the Honeywell ST6400C - is this a good one? first i'll get the CH working (hopefully) on the current one.

Cheers Chris - i'll take off the programmer tonight and see whats going on!

Chris - how do you mean 'floppy' - i'm able to move it upwards.... just a quick update of what i noticed this morning:- Had no CH or Water on over night. Tried tap and hot water was still there. Switched CH only on in the programmer, no fireing up noise from the boiler and the pump...

ok - back - just moved the slider up to 'Man Open' and it stayed there. Th epump isn't going yet, should it kick in soon?

Gasguru At the moment both the water and CH are selected. I'll change it to be CH only and see if it changes. If not i'll take a look in the 3 port valve. thanks
