    Vaillant Turbomax Plus 824e - Error 5F6 (or SF6) ? Info needed please.

    Just in case anyone was interested, the fault was caused by a defective PCB - or far more specifically, a defective relay.

    My mistake. I thought the combustion chamber was the small central metal enclosure with the gas burner and heat exchanger inside - not the outer metal box covering the fan etc etc It seemed reasonable to think that the combustion chamber was the bit in the middle with the gas burner - rather...
