Discuss Hot water to all of my house except master bathroom in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

I have a Vaillant ecotec plus 838 boiler and yesterday morning I used the shower in my master bathroom and it was working fine with plenty of hot water, however that evening I went to have a shower and there was no hot water, so I tried the bath and tap in that master bathroom and there was no hot water there, however the taps in the rest of my house and my upstairs shower work fine with plenty of hot water, what could be stopping it from coming to my master bathroom?
Attached are pictures of the boiler setup

The hot water in the affected bathroom, is it fed from boiler directly or via the unvented cylinder?
I am not entirely sure as I havent had the house long, the small cylinder on the wall to the left of the boiler seems to be connected to the main big water tank to the right of the boiler if I trace the pipe from it.
 
Ignore the small cylinder on the wall for now as this is an expansion vessel for the unvented cylinder. I’d say it’s either a boiler issue or cylinder issue. Does water actually run, just not hot?
 
It looks as if some part of your house is fed from the combi boiler, and the rest off the Unvented cylinder.

The easiest way to work out what is what is run the hot tap in the part of the house that is working. If the tap comes on the front of the boiler on the screen that means it's fed off the combi. If it doesn't and gets hot then it's fed from the cylinder.

I suspect that your main bathroom would be fed from the Unvented cylinder, hence why you might have no hot water.

Was going to suggest this, but wasn’t 100% sure, so thank you.
