Possible Causes

Partially blocked plate heat exchanger, Faulty DHW NTC sensor, Modulating gas valve not responding correctly, Inadequate flow rate through boiler

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Water can become very hot unexpectedly. Take care when testing taps or showers.

  • Check flow rate: Open the hot tap fully. Very low flow can cause temperature swings; ensure filters and aerators on taps are not blocked.
  • Test multiple outlets: See if the issue occurs at all taps or only one, which may indicate a local plumbing issue.
  • Engineer tasks: Clean or replace the plate heat exchanger, verify DHW sensor readings, check gas valve modulation and combustion, and ensure correct minimum and maximum outputs are set.
