How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and allow the tank to cool before working on sensors or pipework.

  • Check tank temperature setting: Ensure the storage temperature is set correctly on the Weishaupt controller.
  • Inspect pump: On indirect systems, verify that the pump circulating between boiler and tank is running when there is a reheat demand.
  • Descale coil: In hard water areas, the tank coil may be scaled and require professional descaling.
  • Sensor check: Test the tank thermostat or NTC sensor and replace if readings are incorrect.
