Hi, sorry if I sound confused but am a novice at this! Have a problem with CH in that it only seems to work while the HW is on, if I turn HW off at the programmer then the boiler cuts out and only comes back on when I turn HW back on (then not all the time as I think that if the HW is up to temp the boiler isn’t cutting in)
This has only started happening in the last few days but had a similar problem a couple of years ago and called in a plumber in who replaced in this order...2 sensors in the boiler (no joy) the pump in airing cupboard (no joy) the myson 3 way valve (no joy) finally the pcb board in the boiler (working)
Don’t really want to go through all that again as it took over a week to sort and have a 2 month baby in the house now so could do with some heat....system is a Potterton Supr1ma boiler, EP3002 programmer and Myson MPE322 3 way valve, I assume the pump is working as 1 I can hear it and 2 HW is working fine, therefore I am thinking that either the programmer or 3 way valve is at fault, would this be reasonable to assume and which should I replace first?........Lights on valve are working correctly in such that they correspond to whatever the programme is set to (HW or CH or both) but as said only getting CH when HW is on and then not every time, would it also be reasonable to expect it to go more than a couple of years without failing.....again!!.
Any advice would be very welcome......
Cheers
