As the itle says, my 3 year old Ecotec 831 boiler is heating the radiators when I turn on the hot water. I never noticed this in winter, but now the CH is off, the Rad's still get hot whenever I have a shower or use the hot water for a while.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

Thanks.

Never seen this on a Ecotec as yet, but sounds like the DV needs checking ;)
 
I have now replaced the deverter valve which was very stiff and had been leaking a small ammount into where the actuator is.

The new DV motor does not move. It seems to stay in the mid position and I have exactly the same fault. Do I now need to look at replacing the PCB?

Thanks.
