OK. We have a temporary resurrection. The power filter was nicely blown and with a careful drying of the rest of the electricals it is working. The DHW thermistor seems to be playing up or the PCB is or the connection. I'll have the thermistor into a pan of water with the meter on it and a...

They'll likely be involved. I'll flat refuse a replacement if that's the case.

Would that blow all the seals? Either way all the electrics and electronics need replacing, the thing will need stripping down by a qualified person and then rebuilding with whatever has blown on the water side and incidental damage. I get the feeling that it'd be not a lot more expensive in...

Isn't that what I said? I'm not fitting the replacement anyway once we've worked through the options so it isn't hugely important. I thought Flow=out and return=in at least thats how it looks on the installation manual that I have beside me. :wink:

Ta, nice to know what killed it. The hot water hasn't seemed quite hot enough for a week or so but I thought that might have been the diverter sticking again. Would the exchange failing do that?

We have, much to our regret, an Isar m30100. It has gone through the usual problems of sticking diverter valve and condensate trap bunging up but it hasn't been too expensive. Until this afternoon. It made a chugging noise, then a hammering noise. Then a slight spraying noise...
