How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: System water may be hot; use caution.

  • 1. Allow warm-up time: On a cold start, it is normal for return temperature to be low. Let the system run and monitor whether the message clears as temperatures rise.
  • 2. Check mixing valves: If equipped with a system mixing valve, ensure it is not stuck fully open to the return side.
  • 3. Inspect return sensor: Confirm the return temperature sensor is properly attached to the return piping and wired correctly.

If RETURN TEMP LOW persists under normal operation, a technician should evaluate system design and sensor calibration.
