Problem with Vokera Mynute 20se Gas boiler

mik_da_man

Hi Guys,

I have the above boiler in my house.
over the cold spell we were without water and away for a while so turned it off.
when we came back the pressure was very low and it wouldn't work, also had a small leak goinf into the boiler.
I got a chap out to have a look and he showed me how to top up the system and sorted the leak.
it was working fine for a few days but it has given up again
It had low pressure so I thought maybe I have a leak somehwere, checked and couldn't find any.
So I toppped the system to 1 bar and turned it on, now it tries to fire up but fails and the reset button comes on.
I'm not too sure what to try as the system isn't loosing pressure at the moment, it just wont fire...

Any ideas?

I had a look in the manual, but it was no help.

Can I ask where the leak was comming from and how did you fox it?

Thanks.

it was a small leak in the filling pipe at a valve, just needed a new O ring

when u say the reset comes on...do you mean the red flashing light on the bottom left of the boiler?

I have this issue from time to time...i had vokera out to service the boiler last year and this happened...they replaced a part...but it still happens....as far as i can see its related to loose parts on the mother board. I generally get mine going again if i give the right hand side of the boiler a couple of bangs


just an fyi...i was told first this was an issue with gas going into the boiler (by my builder)..he sent a lad out who check for gas leaks...didnt find any..but still managed to get the boiler working again. I've had the issue from time to time since then (usually after a spell where it hasnt been used for a while)

Yep - got mine going today.
There is another reset switch under a black cover on the right hand side.
Pressed that and the boiler is working again.
