Checking temperature sensors
The temperature sensors (inlet and outlet water) are resistance type devices. The following tables show the correct values for the
sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read the resistance of the sensor at a known temperature. If the resistance
of the sensor does not closely match its corresponding table, replace the sensor.
