Likely causes

  1. Sensor fault or wiring fault at CN7 port
  2. Set temperature reached

Where to start

  1. Check sensor connection at CN7 port on the PCB
  2. Measure T1 (leaving water temperature) and compare to T1S (set temperature) plus dT1SC hysteresis
  3. Check T1Stop operating limit value
