Worcester 240 problem

[dave smith]

Brilliant isn't it, I reply to the post below with an opinion about = combi's being great and twelve hours later mines kaput.

So I hope someone can help with this.=20

I've got a Worcester 240 combi RSF, here's the problem.

Turned off the central heating today as the weather picked up. Just = tried to do the washing up and hot water is tepid.=20 The boiler fires up fine (demand light on, flow rate the same as always) = but all I get from the tap is lukewarm water. The FLOW pipe for the central heating gets hot as does the nearest = radiator.

I had no hot water a couple of years ago but there was no demand light = on and I changed the diaphragm in the diverter valve which did the trick = (it was perished). Is this valve playing up again or is it something else completely = different?

Any help on this matter would be a real help. TIA. Dave

i had a simular problem with mine recently it turned out to be that the boiler had lost pressure and needed to bre repressurised it was at 1 when cold and not the 1.5 that i normally have it set at

mine is also a Worcester combi

whilst it made my water hot again it is not back to its former red hot situation so i think it is something else as well

So anyway repressurise and let me know how you get on mine has been in for 5+ years now so i s'pose its time for bits to start going west....

Hah! Here we say they're going south.... What a small world after all. It just doesn't sound right with any other direction.... even east.
