Technical description
Flow/return temperature sensor permanent deviation
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensors provide temperature readings that are too far apart for the system to trust, suggesting the water is heating up in a way that doesn't make sense. The most common reason is that one of the sensors has developed a chemical or Electrical fault, but it can also happen if the sensors are incorrectly installed or have become loose from the internal pipework.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
