Vaillant ecoTEC F0 fault code

Vaillant ecoTEC F0 fault code

Vaillant ecoTEC Plus boiler with F0 fault code

This is a clip of a Vaillant ecoTEC displaying the F0, F.0 or F.00 fault code.

The F0 fault code on Vaillant ecoTEC boilers generally means that the primary flow thermistor sensor has failed, or that the printed circuit board is not getting a reading from it.

In our experience the F0 fault code on first generation Vaillant ecoTEC’s like the one shown is one of the less common faults on these boilers, but when it does happen it is generally just a faulty primary thermistor sensor.

The F0 fault code could be caused by an issue with the primary thermistor, an issue with the wiring harness or an issue with the printed circuit board(PCB) itself. We have seen printed circuit board failure cause this fault occasionally.

If your boiler is showing the F0 fault code it likely means that’s you will have no hot water and no heating, as the boiler has no means of controlling its temperature.

What our customers say about us…

I’ve used Richard to service my boiler for several years. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and thorough. The first time he looked at my boiler he fixed a problem that several other engineers had failed to fix, and even refunded me when a part he had bought turned out not to be needed. Real integrity and a desire to do the best for his customers. I don’t think you’ll find anyone better.
