Possible Causes

Insufficient burner output on De Dietrich unit, Incorrect anti-legionella settings, Faulty cylinder sensor, Excessive heat loss in tank or pipework

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: High-temperature cycles can cause scalding. Ensure mixing valves are correctly set.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check settings: Enter the installer or advanced menu and verify that the anti-legionella function is enabled with appropriate target temperature and duration.
  • Verify burner operation: During the scheduled cycle, confirm that the burner runs continuously and that the cylinder temperature is rising.
  • Insulate pipework: Ensure hot water pipes near the cylinder are insulated to reduce heat loss.

When to call a professional: If the unit cannot reach the required temperature or the sensor is inaccurate, professional diagnosis is required.
