Applies to:

◾  Vitodens 200, WB2B Series (all models)
◾  Vitodens 200-W, B2HA Series (models 19 to 100, 285 to 352)
◾  Vitodens 200-W, B2HB Series (all models)
◾  Vitodens 222-F, B2TB Series (all models)

 

Symptoms:

Boiler will not start the trial for ignition, and no fault is displayed on the boiler control.
The boiler pump or DHW pump is running.
Coding address "38" has a value of "3".

 

Cause:

Boiler control does not detect water flowing through the heat exchanger.

 

Resolution:

Turn the boiler off, and place a jumper in plug 33 (the flow switch counter plug). Then turn the boiler back on again.

After the boiler starts, determine the reason why the flow switch is not closing – e.g. check if there is a faulty pump or flow switch, and check if the heat exchanger is blocked. After finishing the tests, turn the boiler off and remove the jumper from plug 33.

IMPORTANT:

The jumper must be removed after troubleshooting.
