heating problem

[homerjay]

hi all

i have a problem with my heating/water, rads are red hot even when programmer says off, but i have no hot water no matter what my programmer says.

From what others have told me i think my programmer not telling the combi or the diverter valve what to do?

when i turn hot water on, the boiler kicks in and i get hot rads, but no hot water.

when i turn the heating on, the boiler does nothing and i get no heating or hot water

is my programmer faulty or do i have issues with my diverter valve?

i know very little about plumbing, but capable of doing most things myself with a little guidence.

cheers

been told this would fix it?

Your post is very confusing. You are talking about a combi boiler then posting a link to a synchron motor for an external zone valve or diverter valve. If you tell us the make of your boiler and what other controls you have we may be able to help.

yes, sorry. ive recently discovered its not a combi.

the problem is intermittant.one day its ok, then next its not.

ive resorted to powering the house down at the breaker to allow a reset and that seems to solve it?

Sounds like electrical problem! Rewire in order I think.
