Technical description: With Vitotrol 300 (automatic recognition)
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler loses its digital handshake with the Vitotrol room controller, meaning they can no longer exchange temperature data. The most common reason is a temporary glitch in the communication bus or a loose connection in the low-voltage wiring between the two units. In some cases, it can also be caused by electrical interference or a failing internal communication module.
DIY fix possible
Check that the Vitotrol unit is securely clicked into its wall docking stationSwitch the boiler power off at the main isolation switch for 30 seconds, then back onEnsure the wiring to the wall controller has not been accidentally damaged or disconnected
