I have a Vokera Compact Se 24, combination boiler of about 5 years old.
It has recently started suffering rising pressure in the CH side, I have replaced the safety valve and inlet valve on the filling loop very recently, and left the filling loop unattached this time as the old valve was leaking mains pressure through albeit very slowly. The safety valve I replaced because the old one partially jammed allowing the pressure to rise much higher than usual before it overflowed.
I can set the base pressure to 1/1.4 bar, and yet the system still becomes overpressured after a few hours, whereupon it leaks out through the safety valve.
Does this model have a diverter valve that might have failed? I cannot work this out from the user manual, and am keen to get the problem fixed rather than shell out for a new boiler. The filling loop is not attached now as I mentioned.
Any help would be much appreciated.
