I've got a Vokera Maxin 24e.
The radiators are working fine, however the hot water runs cold (tepid if the rad's are on).
I've replaced one of the micro-switches as it seemed a bit discoloured around the contacts.
I've tested each micro switch, and the boiler fires up when I manually engage each switch.
After some messing around, I've managed to narrow the problem down to a faulty diaphragm (I think). If I remove the switch mechanism from the pin/plunger, pull out the pin to around the same distance in which it would engage the switch, and at the same time press the button on the switch to make contact, the water run very hot, however when I let go of the pin, it recedes back into it's housing and the water runs cold again.
I'm thinking that the diaphragm is faulty, if so, it's around a fiver to buy a new one.
How much should I expect to pay to have this replaced, how long would it take, and is it something that could be swapped out by a competent DIY'er?
Prices quoted so far are between the £70 - £80 mark.
