How can I fix my Vaillant Turbomax Plus 8246 Boiler?

My Vaillant Turbomax boiler is only responding to the call for instant domestic hot water, the heating is not working. The error code S.30 is being displayed, I have changed the room thermostat and still no joy, what else could it be?

Did the original poster ever find a solution? Our Vaillant gives S.30 (no demand) in the evenings, although the thermostat seems fine (green light comes on, boiler does not respond). It previously worked fine for a year with no wiring changes. I suspect a logic circuit and/or a sensor input we cannot see. Thanks, J.

have you also got your timer set to call for heating? and is the room stat set high enough

s30 is no call from external heating control

that tells me your room stat is faulty or wired wrong.
