hi head picking time lol baxi genisis 80 combi

ch works fine, but when tap is opened no hot water and rads still get hot. iv noticed there is a 3 way valve and think this will be the problem. Is the common on this type of combi. I dont really come across many genisis on my patch ta john

If flow to rads still gets hot when hot tap is on then it sounds like the valve.

Surely before replacing a diverter valve you would check the DHW flow switch?

Three way selector, switch to '0' or off, move to heating, you should hear the motor whirr for about 2 seconds.

No whirr diverter required.

If you do this operation a few times it will sometimes free up!

when i say dodgy tenant i mean he dont use the boiler at all for 5 years. knocked at the door he opened it with a thick wooly hat and thick socks ect on.
It just gets me how when it was serviced last 5 years why noone picked up on it not working right. He said its never worked since he moved in 5 years ago...

Do you want to have a rethink about this little story, and make up your mind about whether or not it's been used during the last five years?

Although your sentence is unfinished, it looks as though you're saying that the boiler has been used during the last five years.

I see. And do you suppose that the tenant, should he read your post, would respect you calling him "dodgey" (sic.)?

To be frank, if you don't like my posts, then don't read them.
