Possible Causes
Faulty outlet thermistor, Sticking modulating gas valve, Scale in heat exchanger affecting heat transfer, Defective control PCB temperature regulation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Risk of scalding if temperature control is faulty. Test water temperature carefully.
- 1. Confirm set temperature: Ensure the set temperature on the controller is reasonable (e.g., 40–50°C) and not at maximum.
- 2. Check flow rate:
- Very low flow can cause unstable temperature. Open the tap more fully.
- Clean aerators and shower heads.
- 3. Inspect outlet thermistor:
- Follow steps similar to H07 to check wiring and condition of the outlet temperature sensor.
- Replace if damaged.
- 4. Descale heat exchanger: If the unit is older or in a hard‑water area, perform a descaling procedure to restore proper heat transfer.
- 5. If H10 continues: The modulating gas valve or PCB control algorithm may be faulty. Have an authorized Panasonic technician test and replace components as needed.
