Vaillant Boiler Problem...

[Christian and Beccy]

I've got a Vaillant Turbomax Plus 837e.

Lately it's had a few instances where it just doesn't deliver hot water. Possibly happens once a week, I press the 'reset' button, the boiler restarts and all is well.

However, this morning it's worse. A reset doesn't help. If I turn the mains power off for 10 minutes, it seems to work briefly, but soon gives up again.

The green light is flashing, I hear the fan start, followed by a 'click', but that's as far as it gets. No error codes that I can see.

I'm know I'm going to have to call a heating engineer, but it'd be nice to have a bit of a head-start.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry, I must have misread the message of this forum...

"Welcome to DIYnot.com

But what you are actually inferring is that there is no help. It's actually just a thinly-veiled clique for tradesmen to canvass only those they can make money from.

I wonder what it's like when the tables are turned? I work in the motor-trade. I'd love the opportunity to deal with you should a fault arise on your car/van. Or do you just rock up, wallet open, pants down ready?

I don't assume that every mechanic is going to take the pizz.

A rather menacing threat don't you think? Are you the type to fleece someone you don't like the look of?

I'm inferring nothing. I didn't write that blurb.

good idea with that attitude

don't look like you help much people within the car repairs section thou does it considering you've been been a member since 2006 or they didn't like you for some unfathomable reason
