Default Alpha 240E Gas Combi - poor DHW

Hoping for wise words in diagnosing the problem with my Alpha 240E combi
boiler.


Combination boilers are not much good at heating water, other then
in specific conditions.

I recall that we've had to replace the/ a PCB a few years ago, at 120GBP or
so. But presumably the failure could be of a thermostat, or the divertor
valve? Simple diagnostic steps anyone?


You neglected to say whether this is something which has always been
a problem, developed suddenly, has slowly been getting worse or
whether the plumbing has been changed. That might help those who
diagnose these contraptions to get closer to the cause.
