Vokera Maxim 24e boiler

Anonymous user 9 March 2024 - 2.45 PM

Hi folks, I have a Vokera Maxim 24e boiler which was fitted around 2003. In the past few days, I've noticed that the hot water is not heating at all. However the heating is okay. I had someone to look at it, who has basically told me the boiler is obsolete and that parts are expensive. The apparent root of my current problem is that the 'flow switch of the divertor valve' is faulty and needs replaced at a cost of £300. However, they have stated that the thermostat readout is also faulty as is the a pressure valve seal, neither of which they will fix recommending a new boiler installation instead at a cost of £2600. They also stated that there is no guarantee that the flow switch repair will solve the problem. I need some advice on how to proceed as my knowledge of these things is non-existent and I don't have a spare lump of cash lying about to pay for a boiler replacement. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks, Chris
