Technical description
Outside temperature with weather compensator – Vaillant controller only
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler loses contact with the sensor located on the outside of your property, which is responsible for monitoring the outdoor temperature. The most common reasons are a break in the communication cable due to weather damage or a internal component failure within the sensor itself. Without this data, the boiler cannot automatically adjust its efficiency based on the weather conditions outside.
This fault is often noticed during the transition into autumn or winter when the heating system's weather compensation features are first called upon after the summer break.
Engineer required
