Temperature fluctuations
Ensure the thermostatic control is functioning correctly. Check for any debris that might be affecting the thermostat. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.
Diverter not switching functions
Inspect the diverter mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure it is being operated correctly. If it is stiff or not functioning, it may require servicing.
