Possible Causes

Open or shorted outlet thermistor, Loose thermistor clip on outlet pipe, Damaged thermistor wiring, Faulty control PCB input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the boiler to cool before touching any pipework.

  • Locate outlet thermistor: This sensor is attached to the hot water or flow outlet pipe from the boiler.
  • Verify physical contact: Ensure the thermistor is firmly clipped or inserted into the well on the outlet pipe for accurate temperature reading.
  • Inspect wiring and connectors: Check for broken insulation, loose plugs, or corrosion at the sensor and control board ends.
  • Reset and observe: Restore power, reset the boiler, and monitor operation. If error 32 returns, replace the outlet thermistor.
  • Professional check: If a new thermistor does not resolve the issue, the control PCB may require replacement.
