How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and isolate cold water supply before removing DHW components.
- Symptom check: Hot water temperature may fluctuate or be excessively hot or cold.
- Engineer checks:

- Inspect wiring and connector to the PCB.
- Descale the sensor pocket or plate heat exchanger if heavily scaled.
Replacing the DHW NTC is usually a simple job but may require draining the DHW side.
