Boiler error code F75 — what should you do?

Your boiler no longer detects water flow properly. Usually the pump or the pressure sensor.

Error codes

How F75 shows up

  • The boiler shuts down shortly after starting
  • Code F75 appears when heating is requested
  • An unusual pump noise (grinding, whistling)
  • Heating works intermittently
  • Hot water keeps working normally

What error code F75 means

  • Blocked circulation pump — the rotor no longer turns freely, often after a long period of inactivity (end of summer).
  • Air in the system — an air pocket prevents the water from circulating properly.
  • Insufficient water pressure — the gauge shows a value too low for the pump to be detected as running.
  • Faulty differential pressure sensor — the boiler no longer receives the flow signal, even though water is circulating fine.
  • A system valve closed by mistake — after recent work or a service visit.

What you can safely check yourself

1

Check the pressure

The boiler gauge should read between 1 and 2 bar when cold. Below 1 bar, topping up is likely needed.

2

Check that the system valves are open

The valves on either side of the boiler or the pump should be in the open position.

Code still there? Call a professional

An F75 that doesn't clear after topping up often comes from the pump itself or the sensor — a licensed technician needs to step in.

Which brands does this code apply to?

This code is used as-is on Vaillant and Bulex boilers, two brands that share the same technical platform. On Junkers, Viessmann, Atlantic and Remeha boilers, an equivalent fault shows under a different code — our technician identifies the fault on site, whatever the brand.

Frequently asked questions about code F75

Can I top up the heating system myself?

Yes, if your boiler has an accessible filling valve and your installer has already shown you how. If in doubt, it's best left to a professional: topping up incorrectly can introduce more air.

Why does F75 come back after every top-up?

If pressure keeps dropping, there's probably a leak somewhere in the system — expansion vessel, radiator or fitting. Topping up is then just a patch, not a fix.

Is a blocked pump serious?

No, it's a common fault after the summer shutdown and usually quick to fix: a manual unblock of the rotor is often enough, otherwise the pump is replaced.

How much does replacing a circulation pump cost?

The price depends on the pump model. Our technicians quote on site after diagnosis, before any work begins.
