How to check if the reference 161111 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 161111. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the circulator pump 161111 resolves.
The circulation pump circulates the water in the heating circuit. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The heating is not heating or is heating little, although the boiler ignites without any problem.
Cause: The water is not being pumped, so the heat is not reaching the radiators.
Touch the pump while it's running: if you don't feel any vibration or heat, it may be stopped.
- 02
There is noticeable noise or vibration in the pump during operation.
Cause: There may be air in the circuit or a bearing worn out from use.
Bleed the air from the system and the pump before considering replacing it.
- 03
Water is leaking from the pump body or from the bleeding area.
Cause: The shaft seal or the bleed valve gasket may have lost tightness over time.
Tighten the bleed screw; if the leak persists, then it's time to replace the pump.
- 04
The pump gets stuck at the beginning of the heating season, after months of not being used.
Cause: Stagnant water leaves sediments that block the impeller.
Before replacing it, try to manually unlock the shaft with a flat screwdriver.
Fault codes from Vaillant that this part resolves.
| Code | Fault | Diagnosis and solution |
|---|---|---|
| F.23 | Safety shutdown: temperature difference too high. | If the circulating pump (Ref. 161111) is blocked or underperforming, the flow rate drops and the boiler detects an excessive flow/return temperature difference; check bleeding, ensure the pump rotates and its consumption/flow rate (the ΔT normalizes once circulation is restored). |
| F.24 | Safety shutdown: temperature increase too fast. | A seized or underpowered circulating pump (Ref. 161111) does not move water, and the flow temperature rises too quickly; check the pump start-up, rotor rotation, and ensure there is circulation/hot return after energizing it. |
| F.75 | Pump fault/lack of water: when the pump starts, a sufficient pressure increase is not detected. | If the circulating pump (Ref. 161111) does not start or does not generate flow, the sensor does not detect the expected pressure increase; check that the pump rotates and that the sensor registers a pressure jump when energized (if not, pump blocked/faulty). |
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
