Hi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, the 50/4 RS is a system boiler, so you will have a hot water cylinder and pump with motor valves, can you locate the valve or valves and tell me the make and if you have two valves or one on a tee, Rick

Customer replied 250 days and 20 hours ago.

Hi

I didn't find the valves outside there is only pump by the boiler.

From boiler are going 4pipes I thing 2 for CH and 2 for HW maybe that valves are inside. By the water cylinder is nothing.

OK these boilers can support gravity hot water and pumped CH it sounds like this is your set-up, in which case the hot water should heat when ever the boiler is firing if it does not but the heating works OK then it would point to low water level in the system, check the header tank in the loft for water, Rick

Hi Yan, I did reply earlier but been having connection problems and it seems it was not sent, can you check the pin moves on the diverter valve when you turn on a hot tap, if it does then check the two micro switches, if it does not operate the switches then the diaphragm has failed, Rick

Hi Yan, so sorry, had to get a new dongle and set up, only just now got a reliable internet connection, you need to check that you have 24v ac on the red wire from the micro switch with a hot tap open, Rick

Hi Rick


I have check there is not 24 V ac
