how do you tell if a diverter valve's body can be changed or if the head can be changed without having to drain down (actuator i think it is called).
Diverter Valve head or body replaced?

ok thanks. what i really mean is how do i know the head (electric) part is at fault and not the body (ball part) ?
what valve is it ?
and whats it doing to make you think it may be faulty ?
if you move the lever on the end and its either stiff or seized then i would remove the cover and look into it further or remove the actuator if poss and twist the spindle.

not getting heating. lever won't budge at all. feels very tight.
sounds like it maybe seized or jammed inside.
what make/model is it ?
you can try removing the cover and have a look.
can you hear the motor trying to wind it across if in heating mode ?
or is the casing hot to feel ?

yeah the case feels quite warm.
it is honeywell - does this make much of a diff?..
sorry, maybe the ball is jammed as you say. do i need a whole new valve?

if its not moving i would take it off calling for heat and it will cool down.
then i would remove the lid and have a look.
if the silver lid has a pimple on the end of the casing it can be changed.
but useally if they seize its the spindle so whole new valve.
