Help! Boiler has broken Christmas week!

[Aquaman]

no its a trap so it should always have water in it. indeed when its first installed we need to fill it to m.i before fitting it in the boiler

Thanks for that morlomanc. I just going to try switching it all on,,,Fingers crossed

I am having issues with a vokera linea max boiler. 04 message which says either pressure or condensate trap issues. I have checked the pressures, thawed the pipes and emptied the condensate trap. When I emptied the condensate trap the boiler started working again for about 5 mins but took a while to get the water back up to a decent temp then went off again! Could it be because I took all the water out of the trap? Is there anything else I can try?

Help please!

You should start your own thread headed with your own full boiler model number.

hi Aquaman, has that worked?

hi Aquaman, has that worked?

Yep, it all worked fine.

Only problem is 24 hours later the same pipe has frozen again!

Depending on the setup, and your skills, upgrade the pipe to 32 or preferably 40mm waste pipe. Still not guaranteed not to freeze but should help a bit.

hey aquaman,


try to lag the pipe. or wrap it up with something that can keep it warm.but saying that, it is very cold so it may still freeze.

try to get some lagging from the plumber shop and protect the pipe, then also try to put something over the pipe like a piece of ply wood so that the cold does not hit it directly.

otherwise there is not much you can do. heat it up with a hair dryer to unfreeze it and make sure the pipe is totaly clear
