Fault codes related to this part (not the entire boiler). They usually have more possible causes: first rule out electrodes, wiring/connections, and gas supply. Verified with ≥3 sources.

CodeWhat does it mean?Cause and diagnosis (this part)
F.75When the pump starts, a sufficient pressure increase is not detected.The circulation pump 160928 blocked/faulty does not generate the pressure increase that the sensor should register; check that the pump rotates and consumes, and that test P.0 shows Δp at start-up.
F.23Excessive flow-return temperature difference (insufficient circulation).If the pump does not circulate flow, the supply heats up quickly and the return remains cold, causing a large ΔT; check the pump's performance/speed (D.14/D.19), temperatures, and bleed/filter of the hydraulic block.
F.24Temperature increase too rapid.With the pump blocked or with low performance, the water does not circulate and the boiler temperature rises quickly; check the pump rotation and consumption, bleed the circuit, and check pressure/flow rate.
How do I know if this pump is for my boiler?
Verify reference 160928 and ensure your model is on the list of compatible ones; compare connections and measurements. Install a Grundfos VP5/2 pump.
Which models is it suitable for?
Pump shared by various models (see Compatibility). If your model does not appear, send us a photo and we will confirm it.
My boiler is making noise or the water isn't circulating, is it the pump?
Typical pump symptoms: noise or humming, rotor seized after a long stop, radiators not heating evenly, or shutdowns due to overheating. Check that the rotor turns and that the circuit bleeds properly.
Do you need to bleed it after changing it?
Yes. After installation, bleed the air from the circuit and the pump itself, and check the pressure at 1–1.5 bar with the boiler cold.
What pump does it exactly have?
Install a Grundfos VP5/2 pump. Compare the body, connections, and electrical connector with the original before installing.
What does refurbished mean and what coverage does it have?
Part removed from a boiler out of service, inspected and tested. Includes 1-year warranty and 14-day return policy. Delivery within 2–4 working days in the EU.
