What should I do if there is a malfunction in the inlet water temperature sensor

On the water heater that everyone usually uses, a water inlet temperature sensor is used, which is an essential electronic component. Without a water temperature sensor, it is impossible to set and adjust the temperature of the water heater. Next, let's take a look at the malfunction of the inlet temperature sensor. What should we do if the inlet temperature sensor malfunctions?

On the water heater that everyone usually uses, a water inlet temperature sensor is used, which is an essential electronic component. Without a water temperature sensor, it is impossible to set and adjust the temperature of the water heater. Next, let's take a look at the malfunction of the inlet temperature sensor. What should we do if the inlet temperature sensor malfunctions?

When the inlet water temperature sensor malfunctions, it can cause abnormal or jumping data, or the direct reading changes between air temperature and ground temperature, ground and shallow and deep ground temperature may not be reasonable. For example, during the clear summer noon, the temperature is close to the ground temperature, or the ground temperature does not decrease significantly in sequence with shallow and deep layers. Loose ground temperature field can easily cause anomalies in ground temperature data. Firstly, due to the soft soil after the loose ground temperature field, the readings of the ground and 5cm ground temperature sensors are close. Secondly, during the process of loose ground temperature field, it is easy to encounter sensors, causing significant data jumps. The common faults in ground temperature are problems with one or all of the ground temperatures: discontinuous jumps in ground temperature values: low or high ground temperature values: all ground temperature values are -24.6 ℃ or maintained at a certain value for a long time.

What to do if the inlet water temperature sensor malfunctions

Replacement method: A common fast and effective method, provided that spare parts are available.

Exclusion method: Starting from equipment that can be confirmed to be problem free, gradually eliminate the good equipment and identify the problematic equipment.

Testing method: Use a multimeter to test the suspected equipment for resistance, voltage, and other factors, in order to identify the location of the fault. Remember not to inspect the collector or plug or unplug cables with power, and do not replace or install sensors or other hardware with power.

In a water heater, the inlet temperature sensor is an important component. The malfunction of the inlet temperature sensor is manifested as a data jump. You can follow the method introduced by the editor to troubleshoot.
