How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate electrical power before removing covers. Hot water pipes may be very hot.
- Check DHW settings: Confirm that DHW mode is enabled and temperature setpoint is reasonable on the Nibe control panel.
- Visual check of sensor: The DHW sensor is usually inserted into a pocket on the cylinder or plate heat exchanger. Ensure it is fully inserted and the cable is not damaged.
- Inspect for scale or leaks: Look for limescale build-up or water leaks around the DHW sensor pocket, which can affect readings.
- Professional replacement: If the error persists, a technician should replace the Nibe DHW temperature sensor and verify correct operation via service menus.
