Hey so I have a bosch zwb42-3a combi boiler that also does my DHW and had it installed about 5 years ago with no problems but over the weekend I got a code A7 and when I look it up it says it’s a temp sensor and would like to replace it myself but having a hard time finding the right on when I look it up in the book…also I never had any service done to it and having a hard time trying to find anyone in my area that even works in them.. is this something I can do I’m very good with tools and I’m also an electrician but not trying to pay an arm and a leg to swap out a sensor

    5 years with no service, what does the book say for regular maintenance?

    You can probably do it yourself as needed. I know electricians (being one myself) are capable. ;)

    When I talked to Bosch they even told me should not need anything for about every 5 years.. sucks I called some shops on there site and they tell me they don’t work on them 🤷‍♂️.. so I’m just going to change it but I wanna make sure I get the right sensor and change the correct one

    Book should give you correct ohm/temp readings.

    You could check them all and find the one out of spec.

    Who installed it? They should be able to work on it

    It is not very hard , drop and drain hot water pressure .Leaving the hot water drain open. Lift up the spring clip until it stops which holds the sensor in place , You will have to twist and pull out ,install the new sensor using a little silicone grease on the new o-ring to insert it fully .
