De Dietrich C 230 ECO 6 error code – Return sensor short circuit
What does De Dietrich C 230 ECO floor-standing condensing boiler 6 mean?
The boiler return-temperature sensor circuit is short-circuited.
The code identifies the condition detected by the product; it does not always identify the failed component on its own. Confirm the full code and exact model before ordering parts or attempting a reset.
The De Dietrich C 230 ECO floor-standing condensing boiler 6 error code indicates the boiler return-temperature sensor circuit is short-circuited. This guide explains what the code means, the symptoms and likely causes, the checks that are safe to make, and when to stop and arrange an authorised repair.
Symptoms you may notice
The control displays code 6 and identifies a problem with the relevant boiler temperature-sensor circuit. Heating operation may be stopped or restricted.
Common causes
A failed temperature sensor, damaged cable, loose or disconnected plug, short circuit, open circuit, or an implausibly low measured temperature.
Before you start troubleshooting
Use the display, rating label or product menu to confirm the exact model. Similar-looking codes can have different meanings across product generations and regions.
- Record the complete code before switching the equipment off.
- Check only user-accessible controls, filters and external connections described in the manual.
- Do not open gas, refrigerant, combustion or electrical compartments.
Troubleshooting steps
Record code 6 and the boiler model. The archived manufacturer instructions direct the technician to reset the control, check the sensor link and connectors, and replace the sensor if testing confirms it is defective.
Can you fix this error code yourself?
The safest next step depends on the exact model and the cause behind the code. External checks may help, but a returning fault needs professional diagnosis.
A successful reset is not proof that the underlying issue is fixed. If 6 reappears, note when it happens and give that information to the service engineer.
Reset instructions
Use the control reset only as described in the C 230 ECO operating instructions. If the code remains or returns, do not continue resetting the boiler.
