Vaillant VU 446/5-5 / VU 606/5-5 fault S.54
Waiting time: water shortage
Gas boilerWhat it means
Product is in the waiting period of the operation blocking function as a result of low water pressure (temperature gradient).
Likely causes
- Low water pressure
- Defective pressure sensor
Where to start
- Check water pressure
- Pull out the plug for the pressure sensor
- Remove the defective pressure sensor (2)

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
