What it means

The manual says: Room temp. sensor SKK: No cooling mode.

Part involved: Room temp. sensor SKK.

When it shows: No cooling mode.

Likely causes:

  • Lead break, room temperature sensor, cooling circuit.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Partly
SeverityWarning
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.

Resetting itself: Not stated per code; Vitotronic messages remain until the cause is removed and are acknowledged with OK (6150133 p.82). Unremedied acknowledged faults are redisplayed the following day.

Manual reset: Acknowledge with OK on the programming unit (user level permitted per 5817913 p.56-57) after the cause is remedied.

What you can check

  • Note the 2-character message code and message text shown on the Vitotronic 200 display (press OK for details) and give them to your heating contractor (operating instructions 5817913 p.56).
  • You may acknowledge the message once with OK as described in the Vitotronic 200 operating instructions; if it reappears, do not keep acknowledging it - call your contractor.
  • Check the heat pump breaker/isolator in the consumer unit is ON (do not repeatedly reset a breaker or RCD that keeps tripping).
  • Check the room thermostat/remote control and time-program settings are as expected.

What the engineer will check

  • Check resistance value (NTC 10 k Ω) at plug F16 (see "Controller and sensor PCB") or on remote control unit.

Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump installer/service engineer.
