Hi all, I’ve prepped a bedroom ready for lining and painting. Have some rolls of Erfurt 1400 Red label lining paper along with a bag of Solvite All Purpose adhesive, paper instructions say to paste the paper…. It’s been a while since I’ve done any wallpapering, so watched a few YouTube videos...

FWIW, I’ve just checked my vSmart app and the graph shows the temperature recorded for today and a couple of small bars at the bottom for boiler use. If you scroll left, when was the last time it was recording temps on the graph? Did anything change at that point? (I think all that data is...

I have vSmart but a different boiler, I may be able to help…. Some questions: Has it ever worked correctly? When vSmart is requesting CH to be on, does a radiator symbol show on the boiler display? Are any F.xxx or S.xxx codes displayed on the boiler? Do you have one or two motorised valves...

I originally had a VRT392 with the VR65, then a few years later swapped to the vSmart - I’ve attached a photo of the inside…. However, I have got a bit further with my diags and at the moment, seem to have fixed it. How? I removed the PCB in the attached and was prodding all around with my...

All connections in the VR65 are okay and no signs of any burnt out components in the PCB, however, as a test, I powered down everything, removed the eBUS connection to the VR65 e.g. completely removing any signals from the boiler or vSmart - powered back up and the CH valve opened, which unless...

The orange / grey wires are not connected when using the VR65, only live/neutral/earth (the signals for on/off are sent over eBUS) I installed it originally and I’m 100% sure it used to switch on/off as expected. I did change the original vrt390 thermostat to a vSmart in June ‘19 (just two 24v...

I have a Vaillant ecoTEC 418 / VR65 / vSmart control and just noticed one of the Honeywell zone valves is on when there is no CH demand showing at the boiler (S.31) or scheduled. When DHW is requested via vSmart, the CH zone valve closes and the DHW valve opens and the pump runs. When finished...

SWMBO doesn’t like the draft in that part of the room and likes the look of the ones with fly screen (which will limit the draft too).

Thanks. I can’t find the exact manual with GC number match however can find a very similar GC number manual which has the same max input kw rate as on the rating plate & the fire looks the same. All the manuals I’ve found say the same thing that a dedicated vent is not required so based on what...

Thanks, just found the manual online which says “additional permanent ventilation is not required for this appliance in GB” https://www.manualslib.com/manual/142683/Royal-Cozyfires-Super-Sixteen-Nv-Decorative-Gas-Fireplace.html?page=2#manual I guess that means the air vent is not actually...

A living room has a open flame gas fire with open chimney, there is an air brick in the same room with a missing cover. As the fire has chimney, is it okay to buy a vent cover which comes with a fly screen? - Many say not suitable for gas fires but does that still apply if there is an open chimney?

hard to say if it suddenly stopped or was gradual, the last few months we've noticed when you push the door, previously you could let go and it would close itself, now you have to push it all the way shut (which the kids don't do) or it bounces away and is left ajar. as far as i can see (i've...

The hinge flexes maybe 1mm if the door is twisted but doesn’t feel or look loose at all in any direction. The seal has magnetism and will hold itself up against a metal object when taken off.

I used "Measure" app on my iPhone to check levels left-right and front-back (it measures 0 deg in all directions when placed flat on shelf). Its a built-in appliance stood on a concrete floor so unless something has broken underneath, the legs haven't moved since it was closing correctly. I...

I removed everything from the doors and even removed the shelves and it didn't fix the issue. I read that the vacuum is created by the warmer air that enters after opening, contracting, causing the vacuum effect in these appliances. So, I'm therefore wondering if the inside should be sealed and...
