ideal mini c28 luke warm water problem

[elliojak]

i have an ideal mini c28 about 6 years old. the ch works fine however the dhw doesn't come up to temp. the boiler fires up when you open the tap and the flow is as per normal it just sits at its min temp (aprox 35 c). the temperature/pressure gauge is not registering any temperature at all. anyone got any ideas? having read the service manual i'm leaning towards changing the water temp sensor or having a go a cleaning the water flow valve. any advice gratefully received as we have a 5 month old baby and we need hot water and could do with trying something before calling an engineer

the manual has a fault finding chart@ idealheating.com/downloads/manuals/mini
i would say diverter or temp thermistor asfixer said, see if you can identifiy anything from codes.. does it try to fire when you run dhw???

let heating side cool down then run hot tap see if the flow pipe on the heating gets hot.... u could be right kennedy its hard to fault a boiler when ya not stood in front of it lol
