  If the heating system inside your STIEBEL ELTRON DHB-E ... Si electronic water heater won't start even when the hot water valve is fully open, try the following: * Check the fuses in your fuse box. * Clean and/or descale percolators in the valves or shower heads, because the start-up volume required to start the heater may not have been reached. * If the heating system is faulty, test the heater and replace it if necessary.

Why does my STIEBEL ELTRON DHB-E 18 Si Water Heater have no hot water with a flow rate over 3 l/min?

  If you have no hot water from your STIEBEL ELTRON Water Heater and the flow rate is greater than 3 l/min, several issues could be the cause: * A faulty PCB, in which case you should test the PCB and replace if necessary. * The high limit safety cut-out (STB) tripped or cable break, so check the high limit safety cut-out and replace if necessary. * A faulty heating system, so test the heating system resistance and replace if necessary.

  If you have no hot water from your STIEBEL ELTRON Water Heater and the flow rate is greater than 3 l/min, possible causes include: * Cold water supply temperature exceeding 35 °C: Reduce the temperature of the cold water supply to the equipment. * Flow rate exceeding 25 l/min: Reduce the flow rate to the equipment. * Cold water sensor fault: Test the PCB, replace if necessary.

How to troubleshoot a STIEBEL ELTRON DHB-E 18 Si with no 'traffic light' display?

  Joshua PachecoAug 28, 2025
  If your STIEBEL ELTRON Water Heater isn't displaying the 'traffic light', it could be due to: * The safety pressure limiter AP 3 has tripped: Remove the cause of the fault (e.g., faulty pressure washer). Rinse the heating-system of the unit to avoid over-heating. Press the button on the safety pressure limiter only after isolating the equipment from the electrical supply. * A faulty PCB: Test the PCB and replace it if necessary.
