Possible Causes
Scaled plate heat exchanger, Faulty DHW NTC sensor, Partially blocked DHW flow turbine, Gas valve modulation issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Water may become very hot unexpectedly; test with care.
- Run tap fully: Open the hot tap fully to ensure adequate flow through the boiler; very low flow can cause cycling.
- Check cold mains: Ensure cold water pressure is stable and other outlets are not being used heavily at the same time.
- Engineer tasks: An engineer should check DHW sensor readings, clean or replace the plate heat exchanger, inspect the flow turbine, and verify gas valve modulation.
