ARISTON SX20 OFFICE COMBI BOILER

[JohnOgy]

My combi has gone beserk. Is firing up fine but is pushing hot water into the radiators and not to the taps where I want it. The water coming to the taps is very tepid whilst the radiators are heating up fast.

I switched the central heating option off but its not making any difference. I'm thinking this is potentially dangerous, any help appreciated. Thanks

Diverter valve.

Blimey Dave that was quick. Is there any temporary fix until I can sort it? Thanks so much....and I agree on your last point too re wives!

 

[Dan Robinson]

WTF is Dave .

Doubt there is much that can be done - probably jammed in the heating position.

 

[JohnOgy]

Sorry Dan, first timer you know, distracted looking for the post reply option.. Much obliged, I'll try and deal tomorrow.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Good luck.

Turning your radiators off is a temporary fix.

If you turn off one valve on each rad then potentially all the power is available for the hot water.

It will probably be able to work OK to give you hot water until you can get it fixed.

Not a very serious problem as boiler faults go,

...and not dangerous, as you feared
