Low Information
80:2 to 80:199 on Viessmann Vitodens 300-W

Your boiler is waiting for a pre-set delay period to pass before restarting, often caused by a temporary communication gap or a signal issue between internal components.

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

Time delay adjustable from 10s to 995s; 1 step = 5s

What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler detects that the water in the system is reaching the desired temperature too quickly, which usually happens if the radiators cannot dissipate heat fast enough. To protect the burner from wearing out due to constant starting and stopping, the system imposes a calculated waiting period. It is often caused by several radiators being turned off or the pump speed not being synchronised with the boiler's high power output.

This is more common in spring and autumn when the weather is mild and the house doesn't require the boiler's full heating capacity.

DIY fix possible

Wait for 15-20 minutes to see if the delay timer expires and the boiler restarts automatically.Perform a standard reset by pressing the 'Reset' button or turning the power off and on once.Check if the room thermostat or external controls are calling for heat.
