I have a Horstmann display to turn on my hot water and central heating (excuse not using technical terms, but am trying to keep this as simple as possible!!!).
So, the hot water button when selected was not turning on the hot water.
However, the central heating button turned on the radiators and heated up the water.
Now, we had plumbers install some new radiators last week and replace the head as they said that this was damaged & they believed that this was the problem with the water button not working. However I do believe from speaking to people and this site that it sounds like the motorised valve needs replacing.
The day this work was done, the wierdest thing happened, the hot water button and heating button seemed to have swapped round, the hot water button was turning the heating on but not linking to the thermostat or producing any hot water and the central heating button was not doing anything - so the replacement of the head hadnt made any difference.
During the past week, the buttons seem to switch around without touching it. I am really really confused, can anyone provide a light at the end of the tunnel - or any hot water would be nice!!!! Will the motorise valve sort out our problems or is there are more sinister explanation. I dont want it to just be trial and error.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
