Hi - I have no CH, but I have HW

    1.You may need to bleed air from the radiators

    2. set box back to auto

    3. Get assistant to change thermostat to 0 then 25 every 20 seconds or so and listen for noise at diverter valve to confirm it works

    4. Has heating worked since pump and valve replaced?, possible wiring fault during maintenance.

    Edit

    Any air in radiators?

    Check water supply to heating system is not isolated
