Hi just seeing if someone can offer some advice before I go and order the diverter switch.
I have a glowworm 100e boiler
Over the last few months the boiler on on occasion been making a funny noise every now and then at night, like a clicking.
Now the boiler is blowing the pcb fuse, I've put a new one in and noticed a flash at the diverter switch, I felt the switch and its hot, also there is a little bit of water on it which smelt burnt.
I'm guessing it's been sticking, the switches are cheap.
How easy is it to replace?
If I replace will it stop the slight leak?
Do I need to depressurise the boiler

I have done work on the boiler in the past, so not a complete newbie, I've replaced the pcb and the water pump, just looking for advice

Thanks

Pete
