My Viessmann boiler threw a wobbly and tripped out. Press the re-set, and it went through all the normal startup procedure (fans whirring, solenoids clicking), but then tripped again, so I was hoping it was nothing major. The fault code Eb, means 'heat draw off repeatedly too low during calibration' The cure is to 'initiate heat draw off and trigger manual calibration (see page 89)' which didn't help much as there's nothing on page 89 about it. And when I did find it, it didn't seem to be applicable to my version of the boiler as the calibration required you to use a code number which didn't exist. However, similar sort of faults mentioned the ionisation electrode so in desperation I followed the service instructions for removing and cleaning it - and to my delight it sorted things. What does it do?
