Vaillant aroTHERM fault F.734

Condensation temperature too low

Heat pump

What it means

Temperature in the heating circuit is too low, outside of the operating characteristics.

Likely causes

  1. The temperature in the heating circuit is too low, outside of the operating characteristics
  2. Refrigerant volume too low

Where to start

  1. Check the EEV (does the EEV move to the limit stop? Use the sensor/actuator test)
  2. Check the compressor inlet sensor
  3. Check the refrigerant filling volume (see technical data)

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
