Possible Causes

Faulty DHW NTC sensor, loose sensor connection, scale build-up on the sensor pocket, PCB input fault.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and isolate the cold water supply before removing DHW components.

  • Symptom check: Hot water temperature may fluctuate or be excessively hot or cold.
  • Engineer checks:
    • Measure the resistance of the DHW NTC at known temperatures.
    • Inspect the wiring and connector to the PCB.
    • Descale the sensor pocket or plate heat exchanger if heavily scaled.

Replacing the DHW NTC is usually a simple job but may require draining the DHW side.
