Valliant Boiler Fault F40

[Nickjo]

My Vaillant ECOmax 613E combi boiler is not working properly. It sounds like its trying to start and then cutting out. It keeps flashing a fault number F40. Any ideas how i can resolve this. Is it possible for me to reset the system.

Thanks

Well what does the manual say that F40 represents? If you don't have one, try downloading from the Vaillant site.

i've just a quick look in the book and there is no F.40 listed in the book. So maybe there isn't a fault F.40.

That'll be the faulty fault code fault fault, then?

No F40 in mine either ?

Not one of those american fighter planes then Or am i thinking of the F16?

QUoting oilski:
"4704412 or 4704407? on the 4704407 an f32 fault code indicates the fan running slow or blocked or in some way a lack of air flow. An f40 fault code is an electrical fault or pressing the reset button without a fault being present on the appliance."

No f16,s around here tonight either might have had a dc10 fly over tho

Press the flame button see what happens

 

[Strachan]

If it is the F16, that`ll be the afterburner! Stand back

 

[micky p]

think you'll find a F40 was a Ferrari

Actually there was a VOUGHT F40-1A CORSAIR single engined fighter plane about 1944.

I dont remember seeing one in the RAF museums at Hendon or Cosgrove though. Probably one that did not survive!
