Boiler: Viessmann Vitodens 111
Age: now 3 years old, identical fault was under warranty after one year of use
Description of the problem:
The boiler did not heat up domestic hot water irregularly, most often in the morning, hot water was only sufficient for one shower. The boiler turned on the blower (noise was heard) and displayed the tap icon, but it did not turn on the burner (it also did not display the burner icon), there was no audible attempt to ignite the burner and the electrode crackling, and it did not display an error message.
Reset, restart or service mode and manual burner control (left knob to the stop) helped. The situation repeated itself every few days.
After a week of replacing various parts, including the motherboard, the service finally replaced the NTC temperature sensor - it helped.
After a year and a half (after the warranty), the problem repeated.
I measured the resistance of the sensor (at room temperature of about 25 degrees it should have a resistance of about 10 k? (mine was 0.8). After taking it out, it turned out that the tip was worn and the sensor was covered with a green crystalline bloom. This indicates electrochemical corrosion and precipitation of copper salts. was replaced under warranty by an authorized Viessmann service, so either there is a problem with the design of the stove or cheap Chinese replacements are used.
I put a sensor from an old 10-year-old stove (I ran it previously with a simple ohmmeter). So far it works fine. Photos of the NTC sensor are attached.
Note before removing the sensor - turn off the water (of course, disconnect the electricity first).
Maybe someone will find it useful to describe this unusual problem.
