Possible Causes

Failed Dimplex cylinder NTC sensor, a faulty wired cylinder thermostat connected to the Dimplex boiler, a loose sensor pocket, or poor contact with the cylinder.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before accessing cylinder wiring or sensors. Hot water cylinders can be very hot.

User checks:

  • Cylinder stat setting: Ensure the mechanical cylinder thermostat (if fitted) is set to an appropriate temperature (typically 60°C).
  • Reset: After adjusting, reset the Dimplex boiler and check if E20 clears.

Professional repair:

  • Test and replace the Dimplex cylinder NTC sensor or thermostat.
  • Ensure the sensor is fully inserted into the cylinder pocket with good thermal contact.
