Possible Causes
Partially blocked DHW flow sensor, Oversized or modulating tap/shower mixer, Faulty DHW NTC sensor, Incorrect minimum gas rate adjustment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Beware of sudden hot water temperature spikes that can cause scalding.
- 1. Test with a simple tap: Run hot water from a basic basin tap (no thermostatic mixer). If temperature is stable there, the issue may be with the shower mixer, not the heater.
- 2. Clean DHW flow sensor: Limescale or debris can cause erratic flow readings. A technician should remove and clean or replace the flow sensor.
- 3. Check DHW NTC sensor: Verify that the sensor is firmly attached and not affected by poor contact or corrosion.
- 4. Gas adjustment (technician): A Beretta-trained technician can adjust minimum and maximum gas rates to ensure stable modulation at low flows.
