Possible Causes

One or more NTC sensors out of calibration, Poor sensor contact on pipes, Incorrect sensor placement after service, Faulty control board analog circuitry

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and allow the system to cool.

  • Compare sensors: Touch the flow and return pipes near their sensors; they should feel consistent with displayed temperatures. Large discrepancies suggest a sensor issue.
  • Check sensor mounting: Ensure all clip-on sensors are firmly attached and insulated from ambient air.
  • Inspect wiring harness: Look for damaged or swapped sensor connectors on the control board.
  • Reset: After correcting any obvious issues, reset the boiler and monitor operation.
  • Professional diagnostics: A technician can measure each sensor and compare to Viessmann charts to identify the faulty component.
