Alpha 240 boiler hot water fault

Hi,

I have an Alpha boiler model 240, it is 1.5 year old, and it takes around 10 min for water to warm up to the temperature I can use for having a bath. It is really disturbing as I got used to having Alpha Combi where hot water was very hot straight away. Can someone confirm that what I described is a problem or normal operation?

Best Regards

Jamie

Hi Jamie

It is a fault not a normal operation. Alpha 240 should produce hot water (for a bath) at no time. I think your micro-switch is failing and should be replaced. If your boiler is just 1.5 years old, it is still under warranty and can be fixed free or charge or even replaced. Call Alpha customer service to request for better for you (I would go with whole boiler replacement)
