Remove diverter valve head from body
Measurement:
Observe the position of the spindle.
If the spindle is extended (Heating Position) expect approximately 6Kohms between Pins 2 and 3.
If the spindle is retracted (Hot Water Position) expect approximately 6Kohms between Pins 1 and 2.
The spindle may be not be fully in one position so also test for 6Kohm between Pins 1 and 2 / Pins 2 and 3, and for continuity between Pins 1 and 3 .
Note:
It is also advisable to check for any water
leaks from the diverter valve body as this can
also cause the fuse to blow and may be intermittent.
