Possible Causes

Failed flue gas NTC, Wiring damage near hot flue components, Sensor dislodged from flue hood, PCB sensor circuit fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and gas. Flue components are part of the combustion circuit and must be handled carefully.

Steps:

  • Locate the flue gas NTC at the flue outlet or heat exchanger hood and ensure it is correctly positioned.
  • Inspect the cable for heat damage and reseat the connector.
  • Measure sensor resistance at room temperature and replace if out of spec.

If the new sensor does not resolve the issue, a Bosch engineer should check the PCB and flue system.
