Vaillant aroTHERM fault F.732
Compressor outlet temperature too high
Heat pumpWhat it means
The compressor outlet temperature is above 110 °C.
Likely causes
- Application limits exceeded
- EEV does not work or does not open correctly
- Refrigerant volume too low (frequent defrosting due to extremely low evaporation temperatures)
- No heat requirement via the control
- Timer programme not set correctly
- Room temperature at or above target temperature
Where to start
- Check the compressor inlet sensor and outlet sensor
- Check the compressor outlet temperature sensor (TT135)
- Check the EEV (does the EEV move to the limit stop? Use the sensor/actuator test)

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.
