Tetchy help - no hot water

[THELORDRODWELL]

Even with boiler on, heating on (and working) and water temp dial turned up

Any suggestions other than format the fucker or go to work smelling like a Mag?

Call a plumber

Tell it to calm down first.

Once it’s calm try and have a word with it and let it know how you feel.

The switch thingy is stuck.

There is something VERY wrong with your boiler

 

[MackemBob]

Easy. Just take some cold water and throw it on a nearby volcano: instant piping hot water.

Superb

Reset the boiler, check that the pressure hasn't dropped and that it's not throwing up error codes.

Sounds similar to a problem my daughter recently had with her system.
Problem was a faulty electric valve for the hot water that kept closing off the flow.

The switch thingy is stuck.

It’s probably just this

That’s a good tetchy answer

Ta, tried that and it says SF9 or 999 depending how many buttons I press/smash at the same time

I'm nee plumber like but we had similar not so long ago. The diverter valve switches over to hot water when the boiler boiler senses the hot water tap has been turned on. Its one of two things, faulty sensor so the boiler doesnt think hot water is on, or faulty diverter valve, which is stuck on heating side

You need a volcano

Diverter valve required here marra. Mine was fucked a couple of year ago. A plumber came out and fixed it.

Mine had a switch on it, 3 options iirc water heating and both. It was in the tank cuboard under the tank. Bashing it a bit made it work for a while

Sounds like your valves stuck, see if there's a manual slide on it, failing that build a bonfire and send the missus out with a big pot of water to heat for your bath numerous times

Try pulling your bottom lip up and over your head then swallowing hard.

The actuator that opens and shuts the valve could be buggered. Fairly straightforward to replace. Just find out what model you have and find it on the internet. I gave it a go years when I convinced myself that the call out charge alone would be huge. I thought spending £25 on what I thought was the problem was worth the risk. I think this was similar to what I had. Danfoss HPA2 2 Port Valve Actuator 4 Wire but they are about £50 now so more of a punt.
