That's ok.
You an try flexing the sensor cables near the sensor or any where where they are curved, bent, under strain.
To see if you can induce a reaction.
Flow switch if removed can be tested if the internal poaddle type.
With sensors if old it is advisable to replace all at the same time. Job done then.

sensors/switches testing Empty advise

Post  Daniels Mon Apr 18, 2011 1:36 pm

sorry to be a pain, just wanna get my head round these as there is a few on my round, am a newly qualified gas safe reg engineer,

-say for example on the dhw pump board u ran the tap and there was no live to the pump indicating it cud be a flow switch/board/sensor fault woud u jus change them all?

-and with the acb say you had call for heat from prog/room stat, but no live to pump/3port would u same again change board and store sensor , providing obviously that the temp was above 75C measured using a pipestat?

appreciate any advise on how to go about the fault finding really
cheers
