| Does the heat pump stop? | Partly |
|---|---|
| Engineer needed? | Yes |
The heat pump keeps running with some functions stopped.
Resetting itself: Not stated per code in Viessmann document 6171807 GB 10/2021.
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 the settings in the commissioning assistant. Adjust settings if required. Check connections on.
- SDIO electronics module. Check whether components are.
- wrongly connected. Isolate the system from the power supply. Restart the system. If the fault persists, replace SDIO electronics module.
Who to ask for: Viessmann-trained heat pump installer/service engineer.
