F.75 on a Viessmann One Base: No flow rate in the secondary circuit
Short answer
On a Viessmann heat pump, F.75 means: No flow rate in the secondary circuit. The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset. An engineer is needed to fix the cause.

What it means
The manual says: No flow rate in the secondary circuit.
Part involved: No flow rate in the secondary circuit.
When it shows: System characteristics: The heat pump is switched off.
Likely causes:
- No flow rate in the secondary circuit.
- Flow sensor (if installed) faulty.
- Secondary pump/heating circuit pump, heating/cooling circuit 1 is faulty.
- System insufficiently vented during commissioning.
- Frozen residual heating water in the outdoor unit in the area of the non-return valve.
Is it safe?
| Does the heat pump stop? | Yes |

| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6199893 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).
- Check the system pressure shown on the HMI "System overview" (6249162 p.35) or pressure gauge and report a low reading; make sure the filling loop is closed.
What the engineer will check
- If this message appears after commissioning, check the float air vent valve. Restart the filling function.
- Open shut-off valves in direction of flow. Remove any blockages. If necessary, heat the pipe to the non-return valve/ball valve with filter to thaw frozen ….
- Check the float air vent valve. Check for refrigerant leaks (R290). Carry out the venting program. Replace the float air vent valve if necessary.
- Clean the heating water filter. Clean the dirt separator if required.
- Check connection of flow sensor (if installed) at X19.1 to X19.4 on the EHCU 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.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump installer/service engineer.
