My Ariston EuroCombi STYX 20MMFICE has developed a problem. I have CH but no DHW. I neeeeed a bath. Ive narrowed it down to the flow switch, i think. On the valve there is a set of 3 microswitched above a rod which i guess which activates the switches. If i remove the microswitches and manually pull the rod with some pliers, i get flow to the secondary HE and thus hot water. However my rod isnt rising to switch the flow (no carry-on jokes please lol). I know where the diaphram is so I will replace that, but i dont know where the flow switch is. I note a black cylinder, about 30mm in diameter and and 30mm long connected to a short manifold on the flow from the primary HE. I presume its this but would require confirming. Please.
I'm replacing the boiler next month, but if i dont get a bath, the fitter will think I'm a tramp.
Plus what would happen, hypothetically speaking, If i manually pullled the rod up to allow flow into the secondary for long enough to run a bath? Any help duly appreciated.
