Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before opening any covers. Be prepared for water spillage when loosening connections.
Steps:
- Check mains pressure: Open a cold tap and verify strong flow. If house pressure is low, contact your water supplier.
- Verify isolation valves: Ensure the cold water inlet and hot water outlet valves at the heater are fully open.
- Clean inlet filter: Remove and clean the cold water inlet mesh filter as described in other entries.
- Inspect water pressure switch (if fitted): Some Sime models use a pressure switch on the water circuit. Check its wiring and ensure no leaks are present around it.
Professional help: If E10 persists with good water pressure, the internal pressure switch or hydraulic assembly may need replacement by a Sime technician.
