Hi,
I have a problem with Viessmann 111w
I have a Vicare sensor and app.
It goes like this :
If I have a boiler in DHW only everything works as it should, but then I switch it to DHW and heating. Temperature in a room is 21 degrees. I set the boiler to come on when the temperature is 17 degrees.
Every time I run a hot water, boiler comes on, fills a hot water tank, and as soon as it switches off, it dumps a lot of hot water into the radiators. Every time.
I put my baby to bed at 7pm (and my heating is on from 7) and I still have a shower, do washing up, wash my hands etc. Every time it dumps hot water to the radiors. By 10-11pm when I go to bed , temperature in the bedroom is 25-26degrees!

I had Viessmann engineer coming 4 times, he can't figure out what's wrong. Now they start telling me it's normal, that it has to dump that water to radiators. Surely that's not normal. My bedroom gets hotter every time even I don't want it to. And it doesn't dump any hot water when only in DHW mode.
Anyone might know what's going on? I'm not wrong it's not normal, am I?

Anyone's got the same boiler and could check for me what does your boiler do?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks
Jakub
 
It is common for the end of heating the store for it to dump heat into the rads but tbh it shouldn’t be that much maybe a warm rad closest the boiler
 
Why would it need to do it if it doesn't need to do it when in DHW only mode?
I have downstairs radiators off only two in the bedrooms running as I use wood stove downstairs.
Anyway, even if I had all rads open, every time I run hot water , more and more hot water gets dumped into the rads, and if it's not very cold outside , temperature inside will rise and rise. Is that normal?
I'd expect my thermostat to make sure temp is constant, so I can put heating on and rads to get warm only when temp drops, not that I have to switch heating off when using hot water.. hope I'm making sense..?
 
Because of pump overrun eg to cool the boiler down afterwards
 
It should do it all the time strange
 
In hot water mode it is only heating the water and topping up what you have used
But in heating and hot water mode it's only heating up water too, as the thermostat is set for the heating to come on only when the temperature drops below 17(or now I set it to 3degrees), so the heating doesn't come on at all
 
A 111 is a big output boiler even when it modulates to its lowest output it will heat 2 rads in minutes , then where does the heat go ? That heat needs to go somewhere typically a auto bypass is fitted to allow the boiler to displace to heat in the boiler once it has reached it set temperature either by the Vicare app with weather compensation or the internal themostat if one is fitted ? put up some pictures of your boiler and pipework please .

It's a wireless thermostat. But heating doesn't come on. Only hot water is being heated and a water tank inside a boiler filled .
Everyone keep saying the heat needs to go somewhere, but it doesn't happen when heating is completely off (DHW only) . Nobody seem to be able to explain why does a heat needs to go somewhere when Ch on, but not when off, when the boiler does exactly the same thing in both - just heats a water for the cylinder.
