Possible Causes

Service/bypass valve in wrong position, Safety interlock switch open, Cover switch not engaged, Programming lock active

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No pressurized components need to be opened for this check.

  • Check bypass position: Ensure the Viessmann bypass valve is in the service position. Some models inhibit regeneration when in bypass.
  • Inspect cover switch: If your model has a cover safety switch, make sure the cover is properly closed and the switch is actuated.
  • Verify programming lock: Enter the installer menu and check if a service lock or regeneration inhibit function is enabled. Disable it if appropriate.
  • Test manual regeneration: Attempt to start a manual regeneration again. If F13 persists, the interlock circuit or control board may be faulty.
  • Professional diagnosis: Have a technician test the interlock inputs on the Viessmann control board and replace components as needed.
