Vaillant ecoTECH Plus 837.

Hot water (taps) temperature dial on boiler - rotates - but does not change the temp on the boiler - it's as if its no longer connected to the rotary switch itself.

I think the plastic shaft is broken/snapped.

Either way - is such a mechanical problem easily fixable?

My thanks to any - willing to advise.

Yes it can be fixed but you really should use a Gas safe Engineer to do it. You need to remove the case of the appliance to gain access. That job cannot be done from outside the case.
 
Will definitely be using a gas safe engineer - but how big is the job?

Would it be fair to ask if the part can be replaced during a normal service?

Is it as simply as clicking a new replacement into place - or is it very involved?
 
i would say so plus parts of-course tho
 
Should be round the 25 mark
 
Shaun's right. They're a stock item, not very expensive and during service easy peasy.

As a job on its own, you'll pay call out or min charge !

Up to you how desperate it is
