I have a Viessman Vitodens combi boiler. When running the hot tap (or shower), the water comes through hot but then the boiler shuts off, water gets cool, boiler fires up, water gets hot, and so on... Only started happening a few weeks ago.
I have replaced the flow sensor, checked voltage where the sensor plugs in to board and voltage varies with flow, so I don't think it's it. I have taken the thermocouple out from the top of the boiler and given it a good clean (was a bit gunked up).
What else could it be?

I'm not a plumber/engineer, just a DIY'er...

TIA

Time to call a pro out or viessmann if it’s under warranty

POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler - Hot Water Issue
Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
