Possible Causes

Defective return NTC sensor on De Dietrich hydraulic block, Loose or damaged wiring harness, Sensor not in contact with return pipe, Water ingress in sensor connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate electrical power before accessing internal components.

Steps:

  • Locate return sensor: Find the NTC sensor on the return pipe entering the boiler or on the hydraulic block.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the sensor is properly clipped to the pipe or inserted in its pocket with thermal paste if specified.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for pinched or broken wires between the sensor and the main control board. Reseat the connector.
  • Reset and test: Restore power and reset the boiler. If the error persists, the sensor is likely faulty.

Professional help: Replacement of the return NTC is usually simple but should be done with the system depressurised if the sensor is wet‑pocket type.
