Possible Causes

Aging or drifted water temperature sensor, Poor sensor placement in manifold, Electrical interference on sensor wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before handling sensors.

  • Verify with multiple thermometers: Confirm actual water temperature using at least one reliable thermometer in the return stream.
  • Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the sensor is fully inserted into the manifold well or threaded properly so it is in direct contact with water flow.
  • Check wiring route: Keep sensor wiring away from high‑voltage lines to reduce interference.
  • Replace sensor: If readings are consistently off by more than a few degrees, replace the water temperature sensor.
