Possible Causes

Partially blocked Nibe plate heat exchanger, Faulty DHW temperature sensor, Inadequate flow rate (too low or too high), Faulty DHW flow sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Risk of scalding if temperature suddenly rises. Test water carefully before use.

  • Check other taps: See if the issue occurs at multiple outlets or only one (which may indicate a local mixer problem).
  • Maintain steady flow: Avoid opening and closing taps rapidly; keep a consistent flow to help the boiler modulate correctly.
  • Clean shower mixer filters: Some thermostatic mixers have filters that can clog and affect temperature stability.
  • Technician service: A Nibe technician can descale or replace the Nibe plate heat exchanger and verify DHW sensor and flow sensor operation.
