F.23 on a Viessmann One Base: Lead break, centre cylinder temperature sensor (DHW 2)

What it means

The manual says: Lead break, centre cylinder temperature sensor (DHW 2).

Part involved: Lead break, centre cylinder temperature sensor (DHW 2).

When it shows: System characteristics: No DHW heating.

Likely causes:

• Lead break, centre cylinder temperature sensor (DHW 2).

Is it safe?

The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.

Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199961 GB 01/2026 (VSA00009).

Manual reset: User may acknowledge via HMI after noting the code (6249162 p.57); the message returns if the cause persists.

What you can check

• On the HMI, tap the message and "?" to read the system characteristics and Viessmann's user tips; note the code (e.g. F.xxx) and text for your contractor (operating instructions 6249162 p.57).
• Acknowledge the message once via the HMI; do not acknowledge fault messages several times in quick succession (6249162 p.58) - notify 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).

What the engineer will check

• Check connection X1.9/X1.10 on the SLP ADIO electronics module:.
• Check wires and plugs for correct seating.
• Check connections for contact corrosion.
• Check cables for mechanical damage, e.g. crushing, kinking, chafing or breakage.
• Check resistor R for NTC 10 kΩ on the disconnected plug. If R > 300 kΩ, replace the sensor.
• Replace the SLP ADIO electronics module.

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

What you might notice

• No hot water
