How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before inspecting internal wiring.

  • Visual inspection: Open the control compartment and look for signs of water ingress, corrosion, or burnt components on the sensor connectors.
  • Disconnect suspect sensors: If one sensor or cable appears damaged, disconnect it and see if the alarm changes after power‑up (for technicians only).
  • Dry and clean: Carefully dry any moisture and clean light corrosion with appropriate contact cleaner.

Persistent C3 alarms usually require control board diagnostics and possible replacement by a Nibe technician.
