Vaillant Turbomax 242 boiler not working at all

[danielR]

Hi all, I have just realized that the boiler is not working any more , there is no light on, I can hear some electricity inside but the boiler fails to show any lights; after some reading I realise that it could be some electrical fault, but just want to ask for more opinions. Will it be expensive to be fixed?

Regards,

Daniel

Impossible to say from your description

What's your pressure guage reading? If low, maybe needs topping up to just over 1 bar.

The pressure on the gauge is 1.5 bar. The heating was on yesterday and after few hours I've noticed that the radiators are cold but the room thermostat was indicated that the boiler was still on so I went to check the boiler. All the lights went off...I've tryed to reset it, but nothing. I've had problems before, mainly because the pressure was too low or there was no hot water but nothing like this. I can hear the buzzing sound inside the boiler when switched on but nothing more.

Should not be a fault light on or something?
