Hi all,
Just got a call to look at one of these boilers, heating ok no hot water any common problems with these boilers?
 
Check flow switch, diverter valve.

Hi cheers buddy,
Just had a quick look on the way home, turn hot tap on it does sense it and start to ramp up then goes to low flame but still cold water so was thinking diverter valve are they quite common on them?Going back tomorrow afternoon.
 
Check if heat passes down flow pipe to test if the diverter is stuck. It's pretty rare that they stick, pretty common that they leak through the spindle.
First thing I would actually check is that the plastic filter isn't blocked and preventing flow through plate, it has in internal bypass that it'll run through if the filter is blocked

Cheers mate
Where abouts is that filter? Going on Monday now to have a look.
 
It's in the left hand side behind the pressure switch. You need to take the little flow pipe out and you can pull it out the side. Helps if you have clearance and can remove the side panel

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
