Possible Causes

Stuck flow switch, Blocked hydraulic block in Junkers furnace, Faulty flow sensor, Wiring issue to PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power and allow the system to cool before opening hydraulic components.

  • 1. Check pump operation: Ensure the circulation pump is running. A non-running pump can prevent the flow switch from activating.
  • 2. Tap flow switch housing: Gently tap the flow switch or sensor housing on the hydraulic block to free a stuck paddle or magnet.
  • 3. Clean strainers: If the furnace has strainers in the return line or hydraulic block, isolate and clean them to restore flow.
  • 4. Sensor replacement: If the flow switch or sensor does not change state when flow is present, replace it with an original Junkers part.
