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.
