    What does it mean if my Vaillant Boiler shows eBUS undervoltage?
    • L
      Larry AndrewsSep 7, 2025
      An eBUS undervoltage indication means there could be a short circuit on the eBUS, an overload on the eBUS, or two power sources on the eBUS with different polarity. Check the eBUS connections and power sources.

    What does it mean if my Vaillant Boiler water pressure sensor signal is out of range (too high)?
    • V
      vjonesSep 18, 2025
      If the water pressure sensor signal is out of range (too high), the cable to the water pressure sensor has a short-circuit at 5 V / 24 V, or there is an internal fault in the water pressure sensor. Inspect and repair the cable and replace the water pressure sensor.

    Why is the safety temperature limiter by NTC activated in my Vaillant Boiler?
    • B
      Bethany MartinSep 8, 2025
      The safety temperature limiter by NTC might be activated because the Flow-NTC is not correctly thermal-connected or is defective, causing the appliance not to shut down. Check the thermal connection of the Flow-NTC and replace it if defective.

    What to do if the gas supply to my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 831 is off?
    • E
      elizabethsanchezSep 23, 2025
      If the gas supply to your Vaillant Boiler is off or not correctly purged, check that the gas supply to the boiler is on, that it has been correctly purged, and that an inlet pressure of 20 mbar is available at the gas valve.

    Why does the flame go off during operation in my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 831?
    • B
      Barbara FlowersAug 26, 2025
      If the flame goes off during operation and subsequent ignition attempts fail in your Vaillant Boiler, it could be due to a temporarily stopped gas supply, spark failure in the ignition transformer, or faulty earthing of the appliance. Check gas supply and ignition system for faults.

    What to do if my Vaillant Boiler is dry firing?
    • S
      Susan KingAug 26, 2025
      If your Vaillant Boiler is dry firing, it indicates there may be too little water in the appliance, a defective water shortage switch, a defective cable to the pump or water shortage switch, a blocked or defective pump, or the pump output is too low. Ensure adequate water supply and check the water shortage switch and pump.
