    Not an expert but been told boilers work exactly as the car sensors work, find all the sensors on boilers and clean them with wire sponge till you see the bit of copper or silver shining replace all clean sensors bob the uncle…..

    Did you know People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought.

    Sorry for the late post,.

    If the Heating is working, but hot water is not working, then its the diverter valve,. u should be able to get to it,

    How to test,.... Set it to Heating run heating ,.. turn off the boiler ,. and open up get to the diverter valve and now open check where the valve is take pic or by touch,

    close it up,. select Hot water only, turn off the boiler,.. and check if the valve is moved, if not ,.. u know its faulty

    >>>>Your combi boiler diverter valve is a valve that opens and closes to provide heat to the radiators or to heat your water. The diverter valve will always give priority to your hot water, so if you turn your heating on, and then a hot tap, it will heat the water to the tap first.<<<<<
