I have had a call from a friend saying the display is reading OFF - SERVICE REQUIRED.Does anyone know how to reset this?I have not been to the house yet so do not have any more information.

My guess is... it is a service interval timer, you will need to ring the timer manufacterer and the will talk you through the process of how to reset or disable the yearly cut off......

I am sure you are right about the timer.Does this mean that every time we come across one that we will be ringing up manufacturers?

could be good business and h&s if they were all like this providing we have to proove whos calling for the code hmm?

i think the person who installed the boiler should know the code.

They done this to a load of Worcesters too

Yeah, you can also buy Honeywell timers (designed for housing association properties) which will turn the power off after 12 months unless reset. This is because some tenants can be funny about letting engineers in to service their appliances.

However as a private owner you don't require this kind of hindrance and should speak with Vaillant.

the ones ive come across are the hoonywell timers, and the code has been left at default, 0000...
