Vaillant Gas boiler fault F.24
Safety shutdown: temperature rise too fast
Gas boilerWhat it means
Safety shutdown due to the flow temperature rising too quickly.
Likely causes
- Pump blocked
- Pump runs with insufficient output
- Non-return valve blocked
- Non-return valve installed incorrectly
- System pressure too low
- Defective pump
Where to start
- Check that the pump is working correctly.
- Check that the non-return valve is working correctly.
- Check the installation position of the non-return valve.

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
From the Vaillant manual for the Gas boiler. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
