F.735Evaporation temperature too high
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Evaporation temperature too high
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The evaporation temperature is too high for compressor operation – the temperature on the source side (heating mode) or in the building circuit (cooling mode) is too high, or too much external heat enters the environment circuit.
When to call a service technician: Contact a competent heating engineer (installer or Vaillant customer service).

For technicians
Possible causes (source text)
Steps given by the manufacturer (source text)
- Check the system temperatures[4]
- Check the refrigerant filling volume for overfilling[5]
- Check the EEV (does the EEV move to the limit stop? Use sensor/actuator test)[6]
- Check the sensor for the evaporation temperature (depending on the position of the 4-port diverter valve)[7]
- Check the volume flow in cooling mode[8]
- Check the air volume flow in heating mode[9]
