    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 428 operation block function

    Hi Guys! Since setting D0 to 21 there has been no reoccurrence of fault code S53 whether the pump is switched to setting 2 or setting 3. Thanks to you the house is roasty toasty warm.

    Thank for the replies! There are 13 radiators in the house but only 8 are used. The pump is a 15-50. As I wasn't using all the radiators I had switched from setting 3 on the pump to setting 2. I hadn't realised that this has probably caused the problem. I thought these boilers modulated their...

    Vaillant ecoTEC plus 428 operation block function

    Hi! My ecoTEC plus 428 boiler fires up and runs for a short period but the radiators don't get very hot. Pressing the "i" key displays diagnostic code S.53 - Appliance is within the waiting period of the operation block due to water shortage (VL-RL spread is too big). I have checked the header...
