HTP Elite Premier F06 — Return Temperature High
F06
Return temperature high. The boiler return temperature is excessive (return sensor exceeded 210°F with the red FAULT light and LOCKOUT). Check circulator pump operation and adequate flow (less than 50°F rise from return to supply), check the direction of flow on the boiler circulator, and troubleshoot the thermistor by following the F02 steps. Without the FAULT light the message clears automatically when the temperature drops below 194°F. The table classifies it as Lockout (Manual Reset).

Why a code is not a diagnosis
A sensor code usually means the sensor, its wiring or its mounting is faulty; the physical condition the sensor measures (temperature, pressure, flow) may be perfectly normal.
Safe things to observe
- Note the code; there is no homeowner-accessible check for sensor circuits.
- If the appliance still runs, watch whether the code returns and report it when you call.
Do not
- Do not open the appliance to test or replace sensors yourself.
How professional service helps
- A technician measures the sensor and harness against the manual's values and replaces the faulty component.
- Combustion and safety devices are verified with an analyser and the manufacturer's procedure after any repair.
