    Keston C36 No hot water in morning

    Just to update; changing the capacitor out fixed it. The Keston C36's flow sensor has a ceramic 100uF (104) capacitor in a block connector between the sensor and the control module. If this is bad, a good flow sensor will return wild readings, and/or none at all. Thanks all for the replies!

    The loom does look like an 'all in one' and would be pain to get at. Probably best shout is the tape for now...and if that fails, maybe I can replace the capacitor itself/its just sitting in the block and relatively accessible. (If I can figure out what the cap is)

    Thanks Rob. (PS its not the sensor itself, it seems to be a small capacitor on the flow sensor's wiring loom, but this must be part of the flow reading circuit)

    Hi Ian, the one on the hot water pipe. Looking more closely it looks like there is a capacitor in the block connector for the flow valve and it looks to have been corroded. One of the legs is broken, but touching. I cant see what capacitance of this is, but it seems to work having taped the...

    Ah, I think this same flow sensor is in fact both for CWS and DHW! I guess this or its associated wiring might be the likeliest source of the issue

    Thanks KidGreen, yes like most people who have them, mine came with my flat. I wonder if anyone ever actually buys them or of they install themselves in unoccupied houses. Oddly enough theyre not even cheap! Ive looked through the manual and can only find a flow switch that pertains to the...

    Keston C36 No hot water in morning

    Hi everyone, I can see a few people had this issue, but its not entirely clear if or how it was resolved, so I'd really appreciate some help here. The symptoms are as follows: Open hot tap DHW demand light stays dark Display temperature remains constant/room temperature Water is cold Central...
