Possible Causes

Failed return NTC sensor, Loose sensor clip or pocket, Damaged wiring harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power and allow the boiler to cool.

  • Locate return NTC: Find the return temperature sensor on the return pipe or heat exchanger manifold of the CTC boiler.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the sensor is firmly attached to the pipe or fully inserted into its pocket with thermal paste if specified.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the sensor to the PCB for damage or loose connectors.
  • Measure resistance (technician): Test the NTC with a multimeter and compare with CTC's resistance chart. Replace the return NTC if readings are incorrect.
