Possible Causes

Defective return NTC sensor, Loose or corroded connector, Sensor not properly clamped to pipe, Broken cable

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Let pipes cool before handling sensors.

  • Find the return temperature sensor clipped or strapped to the return pipe near the boiler.
  • Ensure it is firmly attached with thermal paste or a tight clamp for good contact.
  • Inspect the cable for mechanical damage and verify the plug is fully seated on the control board.
  • If you can measure resistance, compare with Defro's NTC chart at known temperatures.

If the sensor is out of specification or intermittent, replace it with a genuine Defro‑compatible NTC sensor.
