Viessmann parts are freely available, this should not give you any problem as the boilers come with a 5 YEAR WARRANTY. Viessmann control the German market out selling Valiant+Bosch put together. German engineering at its best. :D

Viessman Vitodens 100 heat only compact boiler 13/ 18 /24kw German engineering at its best

As for spares I think Viessmann are in the UK for the long haul as they are a privately owned family business not like a lot of the other private equity cowboys. I think the spare situation is something to do with politics regarding those robbing b******s parts center. I have fitted 2 200 W...

One caught fire on the estate where my parents live, fire brigade job and then an engineer from Gledhill came out and checked the whole estate.

If you are looking for a new combi the best one on the market is a Viessmann Vitodens 200W up to 35kw + 5 year guarantee. Go to viessmann.co.uk In my opinion the DOGS ******

The best combi you can buy is the Viessmann Vitodens 200, why do you think it out sells Vaillant and Bosch put together in Germany. Also in reply to gaz the potterton part fitter our heat exchanger was developed in Germany and is not used in any other boiler not like Baxi/Pot who use the...

I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A HOOVER LOGIC 1200 THAT WILL NOT GO ON TO FULL SPIN SPEED. AT THE END OF ITS WASH CYCLE IT JUST SPINS AT A SLOW SPEED THEN STOPS LEAVING THE WASHING WET. ANY ONE WITH ANY ANSWERS PLEASE. :idea: :?: __________________...

:idea: You definately need a new flow switch :)

:idea: Sounds like the condense trap/syphon is leaking, or for some reason not draining away, this causes the fault you have, Baxi have modified the condense trap numerous times over the years and they have only recently just managed to get it right. The new trap is taller than all previous...

:idea: Diverter valve has failed, it is a common failure on this model of boiler. 8) All the best

:idea: On the Powermax there is a filter and flow regulator, if the problem is just poor hot water flow it is most likely that the flow regulator is the problem. How old is the Powermax? :?: These are both fitted on the incoming cold water main in the appliance.

:idea: THe 2 most common causes of this fault are a dripping hot tap keeping the wax capsule open or the hot water microswitch is stuck in the on position. :wink:

:idea: The usual cause for this type of fault is the fan relay on the pcb

:idea: If the solenoid operator has failed it is possible to purchase this seperately. The gas valve complete is not too expensive as it is only a Honeywell V4600 grey button gas valve. All the best. :D

:shock: You need to make sure Potterton supplied you with the latest PCB for this model. The latest pcb is 5106568 and it has an upgraded ignition unit on it. It is also very important that the electrode leads are connected correctly onto the ignition unit as there is a right and wrong way for...
