High Lockout
F.84 on Vaillant ecoTEC Pro / ecoTEC Plus

Your boiler has noticed that its two internal temperature sensors are giving conflicting readings, suggesting they are either broken or have been installed incorrectly.

Call an engineer soon

Book a Gas Safe engineer within 24 to 48 hours. Your boiler may be unsafe or could break down completely if left.

Technical description

Error with flow/return temperature sensor temperature changing error

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's control board detects that the flow and return temperature sensors are reporting contradictory data, such as the return pipe being hotter than the flow pipe. The most common reason is that the sensors have been clipped onto the wrong pipes during a repair, or the internal sensors have developed a chemical fault and are sending incorrect electrical signals.

Engineer required

This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
