Technical description

Outdoor sensor error

What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler can no longer detect a signal from the small sensor located on the outside of your home. The most common reason is that the external wiring has become damaged by the elements or the internal circuitry of the sensor itself has failed due to moisture ingress.

This fault is more common during autumn and winter, as heavy rain or freezing temperatures can compromise the sensor's casing or cause the electrical connections to corrode.
