Leaking actuator

[deuce22]

Hi.

I have recently had to replace the PCB on my boiler and found out that there was water dropping on it from the joint between the actuator and the diverter valve.

The new board has been pulled out of the way. The drip is hardly anything, but enough to damage the board.

I have removed the actuator and noticed a small amount of water inside, where it connects. The water is dripping from the retaining clip.

Do I need to replace anything?

Someone told me to put a bit of silicone grease in there.

What should I do?

Thanks.

What valve is it??????????????????????????

It states 3 way diverter valve and the actuator connects onto it.

Cheers.

You can get service kits/cartridges for a lot of diverter valves.

Thanks.

I think it could be the cartridge that needs replacing.

Depends on the boiler.
With you saying retaining clip it sounds like an o ring needs replacing.
Usually if you look for a service kit for your boiler it should
contain all the parts you need to service a diverter valve.
