Manufacturer manual

Heating system pump over run

From this model's manual
Verified against the Vaillant Ecomax installation & service manual, page 47.
Plain-English guidance below. Severity, DIY steps, costs and parts are our interpretation to help you act, not text from the manual.

What causes this fault?

This occurs because the boiler needs to dissipate residual heat from the internal heat exchanger once the heating or hot water demand has met its target. The system purposefully keeps the pump spinning for a few minutes to circulate water and prevent the internal components from overheating. It is a normal safety function of the boiler's operating cycle rather than a mechanical failure.

DIY fix possible

No action is required as this is a normal operational status code.Wait for a few minutes for the 'd.1' code to disappear automatically.Ensure your radiator valves are open to allow heat to dissipate.
