Possible Causes

Worn diverter valve seals, Debris preventing full closure, Faulty diverter motor not returning to DHW position, Incorrect installation of bypass

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Pipework may be hot; use caution.

  • Confirm settings: Ensure the heating is turned off at the programmer and room thermostat.
  • Observe boiler display: Check if the Beretta boiler indicates CH demand when only DHW is used; this suggests diverter or control issues.
  • Technician – inspect diverter valve: Remove and examine the diverter valve for wear or debris. Replace seals or the complete valve as needed.
  • Check bypass arrangement: Ensure any automatic bypass valve is correctly set and not causing unwanted circulation.
