Possible Causes

Incorrect parameter settings in installer menu, Wrong sensor type configured, Corrupted EEPROM on control board, Unauthorized changes to service settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Only qualified personnel should change installer-level parameters. Incorrect settings can damage the appliance.

  • Check parameter set: Access the installer menu using the Viessmann code and verify that the appliance type, gas type, and sensor configuration match the installed hardware.
  • Restore defaults: If available, use the menu option to restore factory default parameters, then re-enter only the necessary commissioning values.
  • Do not guess: If you are not trained on Viessmann controls, do not alter advanced parameters. Contact a Viessmann service partner.
  • Board replacement: If parameters cannot be saved or F18 persists, the EEPROM or control board may be defective and require replacement.
