    Promax FSB HE - central heating not working but hot water still fine.

    If I turn on the hot water, the boiler starts up first time and works fine, but it is completely unresponsive to me turning on the central heating. It doesn't make any sounds, no flashing lights (just power on, and flame off like it's still on standby). Is there anything obvious I should...

    Not technically a disaster, but felt this was the most appropriate section of the forum. Just a story from a now retired plumber in my family.

    Vaillant Ecotec 937 plus - Flu fan constantly on, LCD dead, No heating or hot water - Common fault or not?

    Had a short power cut earlier and when the power came back on, it looks like my Vaillant Ecotec 937 plus boiler died. My educated guess is either when the power went out or when the power came back on, the PCB on my boiler died, as now it is completely unresponsive (LCD dead, no heating or hot...

    Hot and cold bath tap

    our boiler pressure is dropping to 0 even after having the blender valve replaced, paid £80. Maybe 2weeks ago. This was when our pressure was at 0 and only cold water was coming out. Now my water is going hot and cold every 15/20 seconds from the bath tap. Any ideas only moved in a month ago

    Boiler power switch melted again

    This is the second time this has happened in 10 years, I believe caused by me using the immersion heater today. Can you identify the switch for me so I can buy a new one. My best guess is a 45w cooker switch: https://www.toolstation.com/axiom-45a-dp-cooker-switch/p81324
