any alpha experts-leaking boiler

[philpepper]

Hi. This is my first post so hope someone will be able to help. Just got in to find that my Alpha 240e has a small leak.

Its at the diverter valve. Just behind where the front piece (with the 2 thin tubes) meets the assembly behind. Happens when hot water has been run. There are 2 small screws behind this front piece, which means that this front section can be removed. The leak is from the small screw at the bottom.

Does this mean that a new diverter needs fitting or is there a service kit which will fix the proble.

Advice appreciated

Phil

It could be either a leak from the front ent end of the diverter valve, or the rear end of the flow switch( 2 thin tubes bit).
Repair kits are available for both.

Its definately not cominf from the front of the diverter section (the piece where the pin extends when i run the hot water tap) or from the 2 sensing pipes above. Just a small drip after i have run the hot water tap from behind and underneath this front section. there are 2 small screws top and bottom. The leak is coming from the bottom screw. Looks like if i undid the 2 screws this front piece would be able to be removed. So wondering if perhaps there is a damaged seal which could be replaced.

sounds like the divertor body what thay call a 3 port valve is letting by, usually around 150£ to replace.

The front end of the div vlv and the REAR end of the flow switch are joined together by those screws. It couls be either and my advise stands. Repair or replace both
