Possible Causes

Contaminated lambda probe, Failed O2 sensor heater, Damaged sensor cable, Faulty lambda controller input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow flue and sensor to cool fully. Disconnect power.

  • Locate the lambda sensor threaded into the flue or combustion chamber outlet.
  • Inspect the sensor cable and connector for heat damage or loose pins.
  • Do not clean the sensor with chemicals or abrasives; if heavily contaminated with soot or ash, it may need replacement.
  • Check that combustion settings and fuel quality meet Defro's requirements; poor fuel can shorten sensor life.

Lambda sensors are precision components; diagnosis and replacement are best handled by an authorized Defro technician with the correct calibration tools.
