Hi all,
hoping someone can point me in the right direction with an issue i'm having with my hot water system.
Boiler is a Worcester combi about 5 years old, never had a single problem until recently.
The shower is built into the bath tap with a lever to switch to shower head, like this one:
To get the right water temperature the hot tap goes all the way on and the cold about half a turn. Has always worked just fine.
Recently the boiler has been cutting out after a minute or two. It takes about 15-20 seconds for the water to heat up (normal) then you get about 2 minutes of correct temperature water before it goes freezing (boiler has turned off). Turn the cold tap off for a moment and it comes back to life.
Sometimes it does this just once and sometimes it happens several times.
I've made sure nothing else in the house was running water at the same time and the problem still happens
