i have a glowworm compact combi, and currently it senses a demand for hot water even though the taps are all off and no dripping.
I disconnected the plug for the diverter valve micro switch and the other sensor to the diverter valve and its still the same.
My question is really, would it be the pcb at fault or are there other things that could/should be checked b4 replacing the pcb?
thanks in anticipation.

turn off cold supply to boiler, open and close hot tap, turn boiler off for a minute and then back on. see what happens
 
The hot water gland is probably leaking and siezed up. The microswitch may also be full of water. Its just below and to the left of the pump.

Change the diaphragm, cover, gland and the switch.
 
ty guys,
