No hot water - any help greatly appreciated!!

[caroline.turley]

Hi,


A few days ago I noticed that the hot water in the kitchen sink was becoming cold every few minutes, till eventually no hot water was coming out at all. Now we have no hot water coming out of any taps or the shower....unless we have another tap somewhere else in the house running at the same time.


We have a combi boiler, which I would guess to be about 5 years old. We have lived in this house for 3 years an no other problems with heating or plumbing.


Can anyone help?


Thank you!


Caroline

Does your heating work

Are there any flashing lights or fault codes on your boiler

Any idea of the boiler?

Hi Guys,

It's a Worcester - 28CDi

The heating works fine

And....there are no flashing lights or any indication of a fault!

Most likely an issue with the diverter valve diaphragm caroline ... Get yourself a GasSafe engineer out... some good guys on here ... Whereabouts in the country are you?

So not something I can sort out myself then?!? Not the news I was hoping for!

I'm in Swindon.

Certainly not something you want to attempt yourself. Make sure whoever attends is Gas Safe Registered.

You really shouldn't meddle with gas. It will easily kill you and your family or whoever else may be in the premises.

The money a good gas safe registered operative will charge is not excessive, just we are highly trained and will fix the problem in the most efficient way

I'm assuming the flow of water out of the taps hasn't changed Caroline yeh? If not to a large extent then it's unlikely that you can fix it!

 

[caroline.turley]

No..The flow of water has not changed.

Ok - looks like i'll have to get someone out to have a look then.

Yeah divertor then in all likelyness. Shouldn't be a fortune Caroline.
