Hello everyone,
I have done my best to read the posts on the forum that talk about the 24i Junior and have found out a little, but everyone's problems appear to be slightly different!
Please forgive me if I explain this badly, I don't really know my way around boilers at all.
The central heating works fine, and always has, and the hot water used to be fine too. For the last 2 months or so it has not been able to make hot water. At the kitchen tap the water can get very hot for about 5 minutes, then it goes lukewarm, and that's what I have been using to shower with. I don't know if this helps, but when you shower and someone turns the tap in the kitchen the pressure drops in the shower.
Today I turned off the boiler at the mains a few times (as suggested on another post) and still nothing. I cant imagine it has something to do with cold weather as its been quite mild here, and its been going on for a long time now.
I also read about hitting a 'heat exchanger valve' with a hammer to knock it loose?! Maybe a big hair brush will do?!
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but this is pretty complicated to me.
Oh, and the green light comes on when I turn the hot water tap, and stays on, and the boiler starts making more sound when I open a hot water tap, but the water is never very hot, and if it is, its only for a few minutes.
Do any of you boys (and girls maybe?!) know what's going on?
Thank you for reading this
