Dear all,
I am desperate for any help because as usual these things only ever seem to happen on a saturday!
We have a Vaillant Boiler and as I can not seem to find any boiler make, I have spent ages looking at the Vaillant website, looking through all user manuals and the one that looks like ours and comes up with similar errors is the Ecotec plus 937.
Our woes started with a freezing flat, having returned from holiday and turning the heating on, we found that it was having little impact in our old, draughty flat (though heating has worked in the past) - the rad in the bathroom is boiling hot and actually making a difference to the room temperature, the ones in the livingroom and 1 bedroom are warm but not really having much impact and the one downstairs by the front door (only rad downstairs) is hot at intervals. The last 2 are ice cold (1 in hallway and 1 in 2nd bedroom).
The pressure on the pressure indicator is 0. Having had an engineer out once before who showed us how to adjust the valves using a screwdriver, my husband tried that. So far the 2 error messages received have been F.20 and F.22 and we have no idea how to fix it. Now if we turn the boiler on the temperature shoots up to 120 and then cuts out to F.22.
So now we have a freezing flat and no hot water.
Before I call the engineers, anything anyone can suggest (possibly how to exactly determine the model number as a start??) to help...
