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.
