Possible Causes

Failed DHW circulator, Fouled plate heat exchanger, Faulty DHW sensor, Stuck DHW zone valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Water may be hot; use caution.

  • 1. Confirm DHW priority: Run hot water and check that the Energy Kinetics control indicates a domestic hot water call.
  • 2. Check DHW circulator temperature: Feel the DHW circulator on the boiler. It should get warm and vibrate when running. If it stays cold, it may not be operating.
  • 3. Inspect mixing valve: If a thermostatic mixing valve is installed, ensure it is not stuck or set too low.

If hot water remains inadequate, the plate heat exchanger may need cleaning or replacement.
