Hi,
My boiler has just stopped heating the rads. Hot water works fine but no central heating. If I leave boiler on for a long time the pipe to the rads slowly starts to heat up (but I believe it to just be the water from the boiler radiating heat down the pipe.
If I leave my boiler turned it sounds like its boiling the water (so only turn it on for showers now)
I have just checked the pump by spinning it with a screwdrver and all is working okay but have noticed that the diverter valve pin is stuck all the way out. I have checked the diaphram and its fine (I only changed it 6 months ago as it was perforated).
So...... Can I be led to presume its the diverter vavle thats the issue and if so can i clean it as a temp measure while I order a replacement or is it something else?
Thanks for any advice given.
