washing in hot and cold water was never a problem until now.the cold water will turn off on its own but the hot water will not turn off on its own.why ?
if its a combination boiler, i.e. you get hot water when you turn the tap on and then the gas switches off after you turn the tap off, then probably the rubber diaphram has torn or disintegrated and needs replacing
