If the flame detector input signal is outside the limits (0 or 5 V), the electronics are defective. Replace the electronics.
What to do if my Vaillant Boiler flame detector signal is out of limits?
If the flame detector input signal is outside the limits (0 or 5 V), the electronics are defective. Replace the electronics.
What to do if my Vaillant Boiler appliance does not start and ignition fails?
If your Vaillant Boiler fails to start and ignition attempts fail, there may be faults in the gas supply, such as a defective gas meter or gas pressure detector, air in the gas, gas flow pressure too low, or a disengaged fire protection tap. There may be faults in the gas valve, wrong gas setting, defective igniter (ignition transformer, ignition cable, ignition plug), stopped ionization current (cable, electrode), faulty earthing in the appliance or defective electronics. Inspect the gas supply and ignition components for faults.
What to do if the flame goes off during operation of my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837 Boiler?
If the flame goes off during operation and subsequent ignition attempts fail, it could be due to a temporarily stopped gas supply or faulty earthing of the appliance. Check the gas supply and earthing connections.
Why is there a dry fire in my Vaillant Boiler?
A dry fire in your Vaillant Boiler can occur due to too little water in the appliance, a defective water pressure sensor, a defective cable to the pump or water sensor, a blocked or defective pump, or a pump output that is too low. Ensure sufficient water supply and check the pump and sensors for faults.
What to do if my Vaillant Boiler shows water shortage and large temperature difference?
If your Vaillant Boiler indicates a water shortage and a large temperature difference between the flow and return NTC, the pump might be blocked or defective, the pump output might be too low, or the flow and return NTCs might be interchanged. Check and unblock or replace the pump and verify the NTC placement.
What to do if my Vaillant Boiler electronics temperature is too high?
If the electronics temperature is too high, it may be due to an external effect causing the electronics to overheat, or the electronics may be defective. Ensure proper cooling and replace the defective electronics.
What does EEPROM error mean in my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837?
An EEPROM error indicates that the electronics are defective. Replace the defective electronics.
What does it mean if my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837 Boiler displays electronics/NTC fault?
An electronics/NTC fault indicates a short-circuit in the flow or return NTC, or that the electronics are defective. Check and replace the NTC or repair the electronics.
What does it mean if my Vaillant Boiler indicates a gas valve control defect?
A gas valve control defect could mean there is a short circuit or earth (ground) leak in the cable harness to the gas valves, the gas valve assembly is defective (earth/ground leak from coils), or the electronic control system is defective. Inspect and repair the gas valve control circuit.
Why is the safety temperature limiter by NTC activated in my Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837?
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.
