My biasi combi boiler will only supply hot water when the heating is on.

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.34 PM

When I try to switch the boiler to hot water only I am unable to, it just wont come on. The only way I get hot water is to switch the heating on. Does it need replacing or is a replacement switch all that is needed?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

sounds like a divertor valve problem

It could be one of many problems. Could be the diverter valve, a faulty thermistor making the boiler cut out before it can get to temperature, blocked (or partially blocked) heat exchanger, a fault on the PCB... The best way to get to the bottom of it will be to have a GSR engineer come out and have a look at it for you.

Sounds like a diverter valve. When they fail it normally only allows hot water only. If there is no diverter valve in that model then it will be a split diaphragm that does the same job. A replacement can be sourced and then fitted by your local plumber.
