S.54 on Vaillant ecoTEC plus Aquaplus

Your boiler has temporarily stopped itself because the water inside is heating up much faster than the system can circulate it away.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

Technical description

Delay mode due to flow temperature gradient too steep (approx 10 mins.)

DIY fix possible

Ensure all radiator valves are fully open to allow water to circulate freelyCheck that your external room thermostat is not set drastically higher than the current room temperatureWait 15 minutes to see if the boiler restarts automatically once the water temperature levels out
