Possible Causes
Stuck diverter valve, faulty diverter motor/actuator, scale or debris in valve body, wiring fault to actuator
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power and water supply before removing the diverter valve. Expect water leakage.
- Check DHW vs heating: Run a hot tap and see if radiators heat instead of DHW, or vice versa. This indicates a diverter issue.
- Manual movement: Some diverter valves have a manual lever. Gently move it to see if it is stuck.
- Clean or replace: Remove the actuator head and check for free movement of the valve spindle. If stiff, the valve body may need replacement. If the motor does not move when powered, replace the actuator.
- Technician tasks: A professional should test actuator voltage and replace the diverter assembly if necessary.
