I have a Vaillant EcoTec Plus Boiler (For Gas Central Heating and Hot Water) and a Vaillant Vrt240 Electronic Thermostat.
I rennovated my apartment last year and installed the new boiler and central heating. Its a small apartment (500sq feet). I have one small room downstairs with a radiator and 2 rooms upstairs with 4 radiators.
The system has been working fine for 14 months but now I am having a lot of problems.
The main one is that the boiler will not light.
I keep getting the ignition error code f.28 on the boiler display. It seems that I have to reset the boiler everytime I want hot water, it takes a good 5 mins from resetting the boiler and turning the tap open to getting hot water!
Also the heating is not working as the system cuts out after 5 mins.
I looked through the instructions but they dont help at all.
Can anyone help me and tell me whats wrong? How do I fix the problem?
Im not sure if this is of info any use but 2 weeks ago the system did loose pressure, it went down to 0.5 bar so I used the valve on the bottome of the boiler and filled it back to 1.5 bar and since then the prssure is ok. Apart from that nothing noticeable has been going wrong.
Thanks a lot
