How do I set the boiler temperature on Valliant Turbomax...

MrsGeeee · 6 Jan 2010

Hello, hoping someone can help me

I'm quite sure its a turbomax. The temp is between 31 and 41.
Nothing seems to happen when I press the '+' button on the front of the boiler.

I have pressed the '+' and '-' buttons at the same time, and this does get the temperature up, but I don't know what I should press to keep it at the desired heat ie '67'. To stop the temp going too high I press the two buttons together again, but this just makes the display stop flashing and goes back down.

Any suggestions?

I'll try and post up a picture of the boiler settings so you can see, just waitng for my daughter to come in so I can bluetooth them to her, and in turn put them oibn a memory card onto this message!

Thanks in advance

ps I did a search but couldnt find this question, apologies if it is on here!

Wot are you trying to achieve

The temp shown is the hot water which will increase as water flows through the boiler. Turn a hot tap on half way and watch the temp go up.

If you want the water a bit hotter turn the green dial a bit more clock wise.

I'm trying to get some heat to the rads, they are all on, but not hot enough
I thought the obv thing would be to press the '+' button to increase the heat.

I do have the contract with the gas board so can give them a call, was just hoping to sort it myself by pressing a few buttons, if I just knew which ones to press!

Just turn the temp, up on the thermostat on boiler, the grey button

I would of thought that the obvious thing would be to use the dial with the radiator picture next to it! although it appears to be set high enough already, its possible the spindle is broken inside. Where on earth did you get that green knob from?

Hiya
thanks I have notice the temp go up when I turn a hot tap on I wish it would stay that hot for the rads.

Should have said that those dials don't seem to do anything - they just turn but when they are turned I can't acutally feel any thing moving IYSWIM

I thought maybe someone would be able to say, 'ahh yeah, I know what she's on about' and be able to tell me which button to press after I had pressed the plus and minus ones together, to keep the temp.

Thanks for your reply.

that boiler looks vaugly familiar

Well if the spindles broke your stuck. Pressing buttons won't help, they're just there for servicing and diagnostics.

nb: I've never seena green knob on a turbomax plus and can't imagine where its come from! Painted??

bobw1956 · 6 Jan 2010

The temp,s are controlled via the thermostats on front of boiler

Like Mickyg say,s the spindles may be stapped off

ahh right, I see, thanks for telling me. I had thought maybe I could use somthing else, like a screwdriver, but nothing happened first time, and didnt want to risk making more trouble for myself.

Think my best bet then would be to call the gas board.

you can adjust it from the back of the pcb, but I don't want to encourage you to do something that might end badly!
