Possible Causes

Sensor leads shorted together, Water ingress into sensor connector, Crushed cable insulation, Failed NTC sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before handling any wiring.

Steps:

  • Identify which sensor: The manual or fault list on the casing should indicate whether E16 refers to flow, return, or store sensor.
  • Inspect cable route: Look for areas where the sensor cable is pinched under covers or cable ties. Free the cable and check for damage.
  • Connector check: Disconnect the sensor from the PCB and inspect for moisture or corrosion. Dry thoroughly and refit if sound.
  • Resistance test: Measure the sensor resistance. A reading near 0Ω indicates a shorted sensor; replace it.

After repair: Clear the error by power‑cycling and confirm stable temperature readings in normal operation.
