Baxi Main 24 HE

[Bazooka Joe]

Hi All
My Baxi Main 24 HE diverter valve is leaking at the front, just behind the micro switch.
Please see attached photo. My question is can I replace the seal, if there is one, and is it a simple job?
Thanks in advance

Yes you can, there’s a service kit available. Not 100% if this is the correct part number: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Baxi-Repla...ocphy=1007200&hvtargid=pla-696223122136&psc=1

Be sure to completely cover the PCB housing before removing the old one, or that leaking gland will be the least of your problems

Thank you for your help and the links. Probably a silly question, do I need to drain the system before dismantling the valve?

No just isolate the cold water inlet valve below the boiler and leave the lowest HW tap open, when the water stops running you can unscrew the gland

Closed cold water isolation valve and opened hot water tap but water doesn't stop flowing

Finally stopped running
