Problem with a boiler

[kajko002]

Hello to everyone.
I have a problem.
I have a boiler - probably combiboiler and when hot water is running radiators are hot. The thermostat on the boiler is turned to 0.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with it?

Need to know make and model of boiler?

If you have a hot water cylinder it is most likely 2/3 port valve.

If you are correct and it is a combi, could be diverter valve.

We need more information.

Make and model of boiler will do for a start.

That's the panel I have to the front of my boiler.

faulty diverter valve as said above.

check your system for magnetite, as this is commonest cause of valve failure . If heavy advise powerflush or use system restorer and flush system/reinhibit after. :

I've just bought a house. It was repossessed so the heating system was drained down. I'll try to flush first. If not I'll repair or exchange the valve.
Thank you very much for advice.

after floshing dont forget to inhibit the system. It is also adviseable to fit a magnaclean/ similar device onto the return pipework to the boiler.

Thank you very much.
I'll let you know about results of my work.
