    Last night I had an F22 pressure drop which left us with no hot water and no central heating.I couldn't make head or tail of the instruction manual so retired to bed defeated - until I remembered the wonders of RUclips and found your channel and 7.55 minutes later I knew what to do and in no time I had reset the boiler and hot water and warmth was restored which given how cold it is at the moment is an absolute blessing - thank you so much Mark.

    Thanks very much Mark. Our Vaillant stopped working today (which is just about the coldest day of the year). I checked out the troubleshooting instructions in the manual, which told me to hold down the fault clearance key for one second. This made no difference, so, after three attempts, the guidance said that I needed to contact an engineer. Thankfully I checked out your video first, and you showed me that the fault clearance button should be held down for 5 seconds. That worked a treat, and the boiler is going strong again. Thank you so much for your brilliant video!

    Oh my God thank you ever so much for this video, God bless you immensely. I’ve just moved into this house where the landlord and letting agent have deserted me and it’s only a good neighbour that’s been helping. Finally got registered for gas yet it wasn’t working and I’ve been buying food for the past week. Went to google, saw your video and watched it and it’s working perfectly now.

    Genius! After the British Gas engineer left it wasn't working. Turns out it was the gas valve under the boiler he hadn't switched back on! I wouldn't have spotted that if it hadn't been for your video! Much appreciated!

    @jannamz5235 3 года назад +1

    Thank you Mark. Once again the F.29 error popped up on my boiler following a gas inspection. Mine’s not a modern Vaillant, but pressing the ‘flame’ button appears to have resolved the problem.

  • @zeekaywalker9232
    @zeekaywalker9232 2 года назад

    Actually I already solved the problem myself before coming to this video, however I just wanted to look up if I can gain further information that could cause this, just in case. For F.29 (at least in my case) it seemed it was a gas shortage, meaning the gas supplier didn't delivered enough gas to ignite the flame and to heat up the boiler. Anyway I love your video and explanation because you are one of a rare kind today, since most people would call a technician even though most issues can be easily solved by one selfs and you only need to call a technician if there's an issue you really can't find out and/or fix yourself. It saves you also lots of money, as like just in clicking the button, while even if the technician wouldn't most likely charge you for just pushing a button, you still gonna end up paying the fact that he had to come which can be, depending where you live, easily 50 bucks for coming and going and not being able to spent the time with a client that really needed help where he could had made way more money then just the 50bucks. So thanks for keeping people informed and being a diy craftsman of your own.

  • @mikeluke6499
    @mikeluke6499 2 года назад

    Thank you so much. We had a new hob installed and turning the gas supply off triggered the F29 fault which would not reset, even powering off etc.. Hob engineer was not interested, everything online says get a Gas Safe engineer in, and yet all you have to do is hold a button in for 5 seconds!

    We had the F28 fault and it locked out again. It was a frozen condenser outlet pipe. Worth checking if yours if frozen, after running hot water over the pipe to melt the ice we were able to restart the boiler.

    Ours came up with this F28 error reseted it and worked but would revert back to F28. Turns out the outside water pipe from the boiler was iced up. So pouring warm water and freeing up the pipe. Finding the cause of the issue then resetting is the best solution.
