Possible Causes
Failed tank sensor, damaged sensor cable, sensor pulled out of well on indirect tank, incorrect sensor type installed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and close domestic water valves if working on the tank.
- 1. Locate DHW sensor: On indirect tanks, the sensor is usually in a well on the tank. On combi boilers, it may be strapped to piping or internal.
- 2. Check seating and wiring: Ensure the sensor is fully inserted into the well and the cable is intact and firmly connected to the boiler control.
- 3. Inspect for moisture: Look for water in the sensor well or junction box. Dry and reseal as needed.
- 4. Replace sensor: If the fault persists, replace with the correct Weil-McLain DHW sensor kit.
