Vaillant aroTHERM F.735 fault code

What it means

Evaporation temperature too high

Evaporating above the operating envelope. The manual's stated cause: the temperature in the environment (air) circuit is too high for compressor operation.

UK models this code applies to

From the Vaillant service literature we hold (Vaillant hydraulic station installation & maintenance instructions 0020257319 (VWL 57…127/5 IS), fault-message table) — not a scraped list.

Now the harder half: proving what caused it

F.735 names a symptom, not a root cause. In the app, the same code opens a guided investigation: what to measure first, the expected values for your exact model, and an honest verdict — including “nothing in this machine is broken” when that's what the readings say.
