Possible Causes
Stuck or scaled domestic hot water flow turbine, faulty DHW flow sensor, wiring fault to sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power and close cold water inlet before opening any water components. Expect water spillage.
- Check DHW demand: Open a hot tap fully. The boiler should detect flow and start. If not, suspect the DHW flow sensor/turbine.
- Clean or replace turbine: On combi models, remove the DHW flow sensor assembly (refer to De Dietrich manual). Check for limescale or debris. Clean gently or replace the turbine cartridge.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure the sensor connector is firmly seated on the PCB.
- Technician tasks: A professional can measure sensor signals and replace the sensor or PCB if no signal is detected.
