Possible Causes
Defective flue gas temperature sensor, Broken sensor wiring, Corroded connector at control board, Water ingress in sensor harness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and allow the boiler to cool before accessing sensors.
- 1. Locate sensor: Find the flue gas temperature sensor on the flue hood or outlet of the heat exchanger on your Brötje furnace.
- 2. Inspect wiring: Check the cable from the sensor to the control board for cuts, crushed insulation, or signs of moisture. Dry and secure the cable away from hot surfaces.
- 3. Check connector: Unplug and re-seat the sensor connector at both ends. Look for corrosion or bent pins.
- 4. Resistance test: A technician can measure the sensor resistance at room temperature and compare it to Brötje specifications. Replace the sensor if out of range or intermittent.
