Possible Causes

Incorrect NTC sensor type fitted, Sensor wiring extended or modified, Control PCB programmed for different sensor curve, Faulty main control PCB ADC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing sensors or the control board.

Steps to correct mismatch:

  • Confirm correct parts: Verify that any previously replaced NTC sensors are genuine Caple parts specified for your model.
  • Check wiring integrity: Ensure sensor wires have not been spliced or extended with unsuitable cable, which can alter readings.
  • Compare with reference: Place a calibrated thermometer near the sensor location and compare readings at several temperatures.
  • Replace PCB: If correct sensors are installed and wiring is intact but readings remain significantly off, replace the main control PCB, as its analog-to-digital converter or calibration may be faulty.

Tip: Document part numbers and wiring before making changes to avoid introducing calibration errors.
