Vaillant ecoTEC boilers are fitted in a lot of Wednesbury homes, from the older streets near the town centre to Mesty Croft and Woods Bank. They report problems with a F number. Two that puzzle owners are F.75, a pressure or pump problem noticed as the boiler starts, and F.29, where the flame lit but then went out. Choose yours below, and check it against the manual, because meanings differ between ecoTEC generations.
What's involved

Vaillant Boiler Fault Codes in Wednesbury, done properly

F.75 — pressure change not detected

Read the F.75 page. When the pump started, the boiler did not see the pressure change it expected.

F.29 — flame lost while running

Read the F.29 page. The boiler lit, then lost its flame part way through.

Note when it happens

Straight away, after ten minutes, only on hot water? The timing of a code is half the diagnosis.

Other codes

The manual lists the rest. The model name is on the front panel and in the manual, and matching the two stops mix-ups.

Good to know

Vaillant Boiler Fault Codes — your questions

Is it safe to leave a Vaillant showing a code?

Yes, it has shut itself down. A gas smell is not the same: go outside, leave switches alone, and call 0800 111 999.

What does the dot in F.75 mean?

Nothing extra, it is just how Vaillant prints its codes. F.75 and F75 are the same fault.

Should I reset it more than once?

No. One reset, then leave it. Repeating it on a real fault can make things worse.
