Hi all,
I have an Alpha 240 Eco that has stopped supplying hot water, but fix doesn't seem to be the obvious. CH works fine, when you switch the hot tap on, it dies. The diverter valve was replaced about a year ago, and is working fine. The microswitch on the front of the valve seems fine - I cleaned it with switch cleaner to be sure, but if pressed manually the boiler fires up. However, despite the switch being activated by the diverter valve, it won't fire up with water flowing.
I am reluctant to pay for yet another call out as the diverter cost me £200 (seemed OTT to me), and I have since had to spend more on replacing the fan and injectors. If there is someone in the area who can work for sensible rates, please contact me! Otherwise any pointers would be useful if it is a potential DIY fix. I am happy with a soldering iron and multimeter so would do any PCB work.
Cheers
Sam
