Possible Causes

One of the NTC sensors faulty, Sensors swapped or wired incorrectly, Poor thermal contact, PCB reading error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power and let the unit cool.

  • Check sensor wiring: Ensure flow and return NTCs are connected to the correct terminals.
  • Compare resistances: At room temperature, both sensors should have similar resistance. Replace the one that deviates.
  • Improve contact: Ensure both sensors are properly clipped and in good thermal contact.
  • PCB diagnosis: If sensors are good and correctly wired, the PCB may be faulty.

Warning: Incorrect sensor wiring can cause unsafe temperature control.
