vaillant TURBOmax VUW shuts down

Jun 10, 2007 1 Replies

Hi all,



I have a vaillant TURBOmax VUW 242e or a 282e (according to the manual, can't find the model on the unit).



It has been wroking fine till this morning. When I switch the Hot water on, or heating, it tries to ignite then it just shuts down and trips the switch.



How can I fix it?



I moved into my house 6 months ago and has been working fine till this morning. The previous onwer said he had few problems with it but after changing something in it (I think he said a board) it was OK.



Any ideas what might be the cause of the problem & how much it would cost to fix.



Thanks.



Does it light but then goes out or does it never light? Either way a service/clean up is a good starting point. I thought this model has a black facia, turquoise knobs and a column of leds? There is no trip SWITCH, but there is a reset knob.
