Vokera maxim, low water pressure fix/red bell error fix

[@martynrangeley8749]

Thanks Jason, mine is a Vokera Compact, 13 years old, it tripped out to the red light and would not work at all. I was switching off and on at the wall outlet - nothing, watched you using the boiler switch, copied that and the unit sprang back to life again. It's the following day and everything is working normally, you saved me from a freezing house and calling the engineer, thanks for this ace video - legend.

[@Maria-ox2qu]

Thank you, you've just saved me an engineer call out on a bank holiday weekend! I followed the advice at the end which said, try it a couple of times.

[@lindamercan3868]

Thanks so much, saved so much misery. Fixed my boiler as soon as I watched your video. You're a gem.

[@jameslosike9297]

Mate you're such a legend. You've saved me an engineer. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@deanoflip7459]

Ay mate, you are unbelievable honestly, you are a genius, because I have the very same boiler as in your video in my house, and I have just watched your video at 2 o'clock in the morning, then went straight back to my boiler, which I have been trying to reset and reboot it back into activity, and Wallaarrr....Boiler back on, as I have had 1 Scottish Power Gas engineer here earlier on this afternoon, and he could not get fired up, and I must of called at least 4 or 5 friends looking for advice, and fell on deaf ears every time, anyways, it's time to thank you, thank you for helping me...Deano from LIVERPOOL....👍

Anytime mate

[@stephaniepeacock3425]

Thank you so much for these clear instructions. Sorted the water pressure but then still had the red light. The trick at the end, turning it off by the boiler dial then running the hot tap got that green light to kick in 👌 I now have heating again without the expense of calling an engineer out, all thanks to you! Legend!!!

[@thedreamer8928]

You legend mate! I had a clogged condensate pipe and trap. But couldn't get it working again. This is genius! I have no idea why it worked it just did.

[@jasonglen87]

Yea its a pain. Glad it worked for you

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

Good stuff. I have a vokera excel. Upon your instruction I followed my water pipe to find a small black tap, I turned it to hear water but I only had to turn one other tap under the boiler - the 2nd left tap. It’s now fully operational again 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rainbowmoonbeams5001]

You Sir are awesome! 👌
3 years, new Vokera combi, same fault as the old one, pressure drop, no hot water or heating. Sorted in 5.10mins ... Thanks to you! 🌠

I had the same problem with my vokera 29C easy heat and this worked! Happened when it was snowing house was freezing but got it running again after this vid! Legend 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for this video, would never have thought about switching it off and turning on the hot water. It was driving me nuts, thanks again your tip got it working first time 👍🏻

Cheers buddy, that was easier than I thought!
Now I just need to figure out why the sink taps in my upstairs bathroom have zero pressure with no water running out.

[@gw2031]

sitting in our workshop at Cumbernauld Scotland, on call till 8pm and its freezin, same boiler as you [ weeks old ]water pressure shows 0 bars,, topped up to 1.5 bar, still didnt fire up,did you tip of switching to stand-bye on the lhs control knob,run the water tap,,switched the lhs knob back to the correct temp setting and WEH HEY its working,,fantastic mate !!

[@jasonglen87]

Glad to have helped mate

[@katherinecooper9234]

Mine keeps missing out water from the bottom ,but it is now working but pissing

[@Luluskitschin]

Great, I already had the water pressure but it was the tip right at the end of this video that did the final trick. I'd been pressing the on off switch on the wall to no avail, used the switch as shown and there it was! That beautiful solid green light!

[@armaita24]

Omg thank you so much , boiler went off New Year’s Day 😢 got us going again, eternally grateful for this video

[@aakashbrahmbhatt7984]

This worked! Thank you so much. God Bless You! :-) Finally, simple and sober to the point.

[@carolmcbride5601]

Great that worked I didn’t have to do the adjustment to the pressure only the switch off and run hot water tip cheers.

[@lizzieharvey5532]

Thank you for this, I was cracking up with that stupid boiler!

[@KaneTemplar]

Thanks for this vid, easy to follow despite my setup looking different. Pressure and hot water restored, though I did have to bleed all my radiators twice.
Thanks again.

[@darrentaylor8359]

Love this vid. Took me a while to re-find it since last time, but now the boiler pressure is back! Vid is now saved as a favourite. Thanks Man

[@gabrieltanasa7589]

Perfect thank you ❤️

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

What you did from 4 min 10 seconds onwards is the reset procedure for your model of boiler. (and some Sabre models)
The sequence of electrical inputs, switched off and drop in DHW pressure, is the trigger to clear stored alarms etc.
But you already know this LOL

[@jasonglen87]

I actually didn't. I just figure things out and this worked for me. If its the actual way to do it then it was blind luck on my end lol

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

@@jasonglen87 Brilliant! What's the saying? "Even a blind chicken finds corn!" LOL
Hope you have a great weekend - and stay cool!

[@sandraoxley9263]

Do you have to do this with the boiler off? I've done the things and nothings happened

[@jasonglen87]

I did the water top up with the boiler off. You also need to check that you have gas coming into the house so make sure your meter is topped up.

[@sandraoxley9263]

It's still not working, we have gas as I checked the cooker etc, water pressure at 1.5 but still nothing 😑

Red light on my boiler but my water pressure is at 2 so nothing to do with the pressure

[@junkdnareviews2515]

Do the two water stop taps underneath need to be turned to the same on all boliers? Mine turned to these angles make my boiler sound like it's filling up

[@jasonglen87]

To be honest I am not entirely sure. All this was trial and error for me. What you see in the video is what worked on my boiler yours may be slightly different

[@SharonGee-bk9cx]

Yep worked a treat xx

[@DrMarkHussey]

You are a bloody genius. This worked for the hot water. But now I have all three green lights flashing, and no radiators are not heating. Any idea why?

[@jasonglen87]

That's a strange one. If your getting hot water the radiators should be firing up. Have you tried bleading the radiators? That would be my guess

[@DrMarkHussey]

The radiators kicked in after a while. Thanks for the reply. I can't tell you how helpful this has been.

Hi Jason I have the same boiler as you and it stopped working this morning, looked at your video but managed too put too much pressure on, do you know how to lower pressure ?

Yes you have to release water from your radiators. You do it the same way as blessing them but let water out

[@ladycroft7571]

I hate this boiler... I recently rented this place and my heart sank during the viewing when I saw this boiler installed, but other good things outweigh that issue. No thermostat, has a hissy fit every time a new cannister is attached outside. Damn thing.
I could NOT get it to start up.
Okay, I thought, let's see if I can FORCE it to give me hot water... turned the dial to the tap, threw the tap on full... and... same as you; job done.
Stupid thing. And what's with the tappets? A bit nineteen hundred and frozen to death.... The manual says pull out the tappets either side if the time you want it on... nope; pull out for how long you want in on. At least I know now, but it's rubbish that it doesn't tell you how to 're-set' at all. Called the letting agent, engineer they use called me, and he told me the tap trick, next week coming to fit a thermostat for me. All good in the end, but unnecessary stress, eh?
