How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before handling wiring.

  • Inspect all NTC connectors: Check flow, return, and DHW thermistor plugs at the control board. Ensure each is in the correct socket and fully seated.
  • Look for moisture: Any signs of water inside the casing or on connectors must be addressed first. Identify and stop the leak before drying and reconnecting.
  • Check harness routing: Ensure sensor cables are not trapped under the casing or rubbing on sharp metal edges.
  • Reset: After correcting obvious issues, restore power and reset. If F11 persists, a technician should test each sensor and harness with a multimeter.
