What causes the Vaillant F.00 fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's main control board loses communication with the temperature sensor that monitors the water leaving the unit. The most common reason is that the sensor itself has failed due to age or internal wear, though it can also be caused by loose wiring or water damage to the electrical connections inside the casing.
