Hi there,
We have an 15-20 year old Worcester Heatslave Highflow boiler (4131139/4131138). It worked perfectly up until December of last year - we had a powercut and when the power came back on the heating wouldn't work but the hot water did.
We were advised that the master valve had failed and had this replaced but afterwards only the storage tank in the boiler was filling up and being heated so we had a few seconds of hot water but nothing else unless both the CH and HW switches on the control panel were set to "off" but the timer was "On" - then we had plenty of how water!
This was diagnosed as being a fault with the valve and so it was changed but unfortnately now we not only have no hot water but the storage tank isn't filling up and the trick of turning the swtches to "Off" doesn't work any more either.
We have a very nice plumber who is helping us with this but he has reached the end of his ideas and we really can't afford the £000's to replace it!
Can anyone help with some diaognosis?
Thank you
Jac
