Hi,
I've been having a few issues with my central heating .. all went wrong in time for Christmas!
I have a normal gas boiler running both hot water and central heating. Both run through a pump and a 3 port motorised value (Y plan I believe) (I'm not a plumber or an electrician!)
It seems that the motor head of the valve wasn't working as it should so I changed the motor and it still struggles to move the valve across. With the motor off I can move it ok, it just seems as if the motor isn't getting enough power to move it. Could this be correct?
I changed the thermostat some months ago for a digital one and nothing else has changes. In a n act of desperation and eliminating things I've changed the programmer today, but still no luck. It's working at the moment as I gave the valve a helping hand to move across
Any ideas?
Thanks
Phil.
