Vaillant EcoTec Pro | Changing The Diverter Valve | Radiators Getting Hot Whilst Using Hot Water?

REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE THE DIVERTER VALVE:
- Your radiators are getting warm whilst using the hot water
- Your boiler is overheating and cutting out when trying to use the heating
- The hot water is not getting as hot as it used to (it's sharing heat with the radiators)
- It's leaking
A simple test to see if your diverter valve could possibly be a problem:
1.) Run your hot water
2.) Put your hand on the central heating flow pipe underneath the boiler
If the flow pipe is getting hot then either your diverter valve is faulty or your plate heat exchanger is blocked and forcing it's self back through the diverter and down the flow pipe.
Hope this video helps any one training!

Finally a Gas Engineer who is making a difference. I am learning so much from your videos. You make it look so easy to do, and easy to understand. Please could you do more videos on servicing and repairs on all brands of boilers.

Hey Roman! Thanks for the comment, yeah I got new videos on different boilers soon, keep an eye out for them 🔧

Roman Ahmed Apart from learning from a mentor (the fastest way to succeed in anything in life), the best thing is to just jump in the deep end and do them. Try join a company as most companies will give you training for their jobs.

I have a 837 too so these videos are really helpful in working out if I have a fault and if I need to get an engineer. Thank you for making these videos.

Good videos for apprentices and new engineers or if u haven’t changed 1 yet. You don’t need to isolate the cold main on a diverter change. Gas seal for the washers and a bit on screwdriver to hold the screws works a treat

I was a little dubious about changing the valve myself, but after watching the video I feel much more confident, great video, thank you

Yep exactly the same boiler sounds like it is the diverter valve

Generally what do you do when you attempt to isolate via the service valves and they start leaking, is the a way to repair them of do they need to be replaced as well?

@TsubasaAbs Жыл бұрын

Hi, I have the same boiler. I had a leaking valve, so I replaced the cartridge inside the valve 3 days ago. Today, the hot water works fine, but central heating/radiators do not heat up. What could be the issue? Is it the cartridge issue or do I need to replace the full diverter valve assembly as you have done here.

@Hu4est Жыл бұрын

My radiators don't heat up properly until I run the hot water tap till the water runs hot. Could the diverter valve be the problem?

@czamboch 3 жыл бұрын

Could you tell me what is that brass screw on the side of the valve and what position should it be on. Thanks

@advancedboilertraining 3 жыл бұрын

I think what you are talking about is the by-pass valve. The position is usually factory preset to approximately 250mbar (mid-position that is shown on my video).

Hi, what about if it makes humming noise when turning on? Can I replace just the cartridge inside ?

@advancedboilertraining Жыл бұрын

What do you mean by humming noise? When you turn this boiler on by the mains power, the diverter moves and makes a humming noise for a few seconds and then stops. Is that what you mean?

@marcinglodzinskl1972 Жыл бұрын

@@advancedboilertraining no, when the heating is turning on it starts making funny noise but not every time. When I took the cover off, and placed small piece of wood against the diverter I could feel thr vibration so I am assuming the sound is coming off it

@@marcinglodzinskl1972 strange, the cartridge is really easy to change so it’s worth a try if you think that’s where it’s coming from
