baxi solo only produce half tank of hot water

[ondeck]

one of my customers has call me after one month saying that the boiler my engineer repaired is not producing a full cylinder of hot water.
they called me in a panic one month ago and said that the boiler is not producing any hot water , my engineer fixed it and now they say one month later that a half tank of hot water is produced .... Q ...why is it producing half tank. suddenly and is it something i did ?

can't see what repairing the boiler has to do with the hw cylinder.

surely thats down to the cylinder stat.

What did he fix before ??? faulty motor(amongst other things) in a motorised valve can cause not enough HW before it finally packs up

thanks for your input my engineer found fault in the pcb and changed it hey presto everything is working fine and customer very happy now they are not as they say only half a tank is produced thanks to those engineers who have replied to this post

Check cyl stat is on correct temp and valve is moving correctly.

How old is the cylinder?

The last one I removed was harbouring 16 kilos of limescale. So much was attached to the coil, no heat transfer could exist.

Just a thought.

oK A BIG thankyou to all who have tried to help , i am not an engineer but i went along with my engineer to try to find out what was wrong it turned out that the wiring loom had a break in it and an intermittent make and break fault that became worse as the boiler heated up everything else checked out ,stat pump valve etc den my engineer has been 30 plus years in the trade and never seen this SORTED thanks again
