Vaillant fault code F.1117
Fault code F.1117 on a Vaillant heat pump (including Hydraulisch station and aroTHERM split) means: Fuse defective, incorrect electrical connections, mains voltage too low, power supply to compressor/low tariff not connected, utility blocking time more than three hours. Reset the appliance once. If the code comes back, a part is usually faulty, often the compressor or inverter module. You can check the water pressure and settings yourself; leave work on gas-carrying parts to a certified gas engineer.
After a safety alert (gas, flue gas, combustion), reset no more than once and call in a certified gas engineer. If you smell gas, call your national gas emergency number or 112 immediately.
