Updated Guide About Vaillant Boiler Fault Codes 20201

with the best design and flexible cost are available in the market as per your usage. No matter how much you look after and use them precisely after some time problems and error occur which may cost a lot to fix them but the best thing about Vaillant Boilers is there are some fault codes generated which can you help detect the problem easily and fix them as soon as possible so that no harm is done. To fix problems you should take the help of Gas Safe Engineers.

The information given below helps you know which fault code has occurred

F.62

Fuel valve switch-off delay fault: Defective PCB, defective gas valve, the delayed shutdown of the gas valve or delayed extinguishing of the flame signal.

F.63

EEPROM fault: defective electronics.

F.64

Electronics/NTC fault: Flow or return NTC short-circuited – defective electronics.

F.65

Electronic temperature fault: Electronics overheated – defective electronics.

F.67

Electronics/flame fault: Implausible flame signal – defective electronics.

F.68

Flame signal unstable: Air in gas, gas flow pressure too low, incorrect air ratio, blocked condensate duct, ionisation flow interruption, or flue gas recirculation.

F.70

Invalid device specific number fault: Incorrect or mission output range coding resistance – display and PCB have been replaced at the same time but DSN has not been reset.

F.71

Flow sensor fault: Flow temperature sensor defective or incorrectly placed at supply pipe.

F.72

Flow/return sensor fault: Flow/return temperature difference too great or flow and/or return temperature sensor defective.

F.73

Water pressure sensor fault: Interruption or short circuit of the water pressure sensor or to GND in the supply line to a water pressure sensor or a defective water pressure sensor.

F.74

Water pressure sensor fault: Line to water pressure has a short circuit to 5v/24v or there is an internal fault in the water pressure sensor.

F.77

Pump/water shortage fault: Defective pump and/or water pressure sensor, air in the heating installation or insufficient water in boiler – connect external expansion vessel to the return.

F.77

Flue non-return valve/condensate pump fault: No response from flue non-return flap or defective condensate pump.

These are the different types of fault codes that can occur so if you see any of them on your Vaillant boiler, contact your engineer for repairing. Hope this solves your issue.
