Hi
With reference to a recent post I think that I have a problem with the Diverter Valve in our HeatSlave 20/25 oil fired boiler.
Recently we found that we need to have the CH on in order to get HW at a sustained decent temperature which suggests that the diverter valve is jammed partly open.
When the CH comes on there is a clicking noise as the valve moves over. When it does the boiler fires which suggests that it makes it to the point where the microswitch is made.
When the HW comes on there is a loud sustained whine as the valve moves back to the default ( no power applied ) position. Again the boiler fires.
When looking at the Diverter the lever on the side of the valve never moves.
Q1. Is this lever supposed to move at the valve diverts ?
Needing the CH on to get HW suggests that the actual valve is stuck
Q2. Can it be serviced ? I see that there are replacement parts available for it ?
Q3. I take it that valve is a V4073 mid position valve and not a V4044 3 port valve.
Cheers
