To check if its the 3 port valve (diverter) check the lever on the motorised head to see what setting its on as when calling for heat it should be either mid position or heat. To get heat on the tempory basis try moving the lever manually and if it works take off the head and fit the valve to mid position whilst you arrange a replacement.
