Hi,
This is my first post. As normally I manage to find the information I need by searching existing posts. But this one has got me stumped.
Let me explain...
I have a vaillant Turbomax 828E. It was clear to see the fan was stuck. After lubricating it with WD40 it did revive it for a bit but then it would just not spin again.
Now I asked a local tradesmen to replace this for me but I got let down so many times I decided to have a go myself. I got the correct part. and took the old fan out and replaced it with the new fan.
What I did was disconnected the 3 electrical contacts brown blue and earth. take out the blue hose and the clear hose. unscrewed all screws including the on at the top going to the flu. and then replaced with the new part. It all went it just fine. Re did all electric and pipes just as they were and fired up the boiler.
Now the boiler starts up and the fan spins and it goes into its igniting sequence. The flames ignite but the flames seem very unstable and go off in a matter of seconds. This process is redone and the flames will re-ignite but go off after a few seconds again. Then the red light comes on I get either a F.28 or F.29 code.
I thought Id read it can be due to the fan not being replaced properly, which I can beleive as Im no expert. But I cant see where Ive gone wrong. The new fan has gone just like the old.
Many thanks in advance.
