Hi,
I have a Baxi Duo-Tec 40 HE A boiler that is not heating the CH properly. It will come on and heat up to 72 degrees (as measured on the boiler LCD) then stops. It come back on when the boiler says the temp is 30 degrees.
As its not on all the time the rads are not getting warm.
A plumber has told me that the 3-way divertor motor needs replacing and also the valve cartridge as they are one piece.
I have had a look on 'tinterweb and it seems you can get the cartridge separately to the motor. Also the cost of these two parts is substantially less than his price.
Looking at the motor and the boiler instruction book it looks as though it could be possible for me to replace the motor??
It looks as though I need to:
1) remove the front case and the inner door panel
2) remove the plug on the motor
3) takeout the retaining pin between the motor and the top of the valve
4) lift off the motor and put the new one on
I assume there will be no need to drain the boiler for this.
Does this sound right?
Cheers
