Possible Causes
Open-circuit outdoor sensor, Shorted sensor cable, Incorrect sensor type fitted, Water ingress into sensor housing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before working on control wiring.
- Locate outdoor sensor: The Weishaupt outdoor sensor is usually mounted on a north or northwest-facing external wall, away from direct sun.
- Inspect housing: Check for physical damage or water ingress. Dry or replace the sensor if moisture is present.
- Check wiring: Follow the cable back to the boiler, ensuring no breaks or crushed sections. Tighten terminal screws at the control board.
- Measure resistance: Compare sensor resistance to the Weishaupt curve for the current outdoor temperature. Replace if readings are incorrect.
When to call a professional: If the sensor and wiring are correct but the control still reports E13, the control input may be faulty.
