Vaillant aroTHERM fault F.514
Sensor fault: compr. inlet temp
Heat pumpWhat it means
Compressor inlet temperature sensor fault.
Likely causes
- The sensor is not connected or the sensor input has short-circuited
- No heat requirement via the control
- Timer programme not set correctly
- Room temperature at or above target temperature
Where to start
- Check the sensor
- Measure resistance at outdoor sensor terminals
- Cross-reference measured resistance against table to determine actual outdoor temperature

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
From the Vaillant manual for the aroTHERM. Check the model on the data plate before you order parts.
