- How to swap out the flow sensor on your Stiebel Eltron tankless water heater. This is pretty much the same for all water heaters of this type. It's not super hard but there are a couple weird things that had me puzzled when I tried it for the first time. I hope this helps you!
I should have mentioned that before replacing the flow sensor, you can try doing a "flush" to clean out the scale in your system, and this might make it unnecessary to change the flow sensor. (There are lots of videos on TH-cam about how to flush a tankless water heater. Basically you just pump vinegar through it for half an hour.)
You can get a replacement sensor on supplyhouse.com.
Also, shout out to Stiebel. They have awesome tech support, so call them if you have any issues. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I just did this repair and my hot water heater is working perfectly again. A plumber and electrician both told me to just replace the whole heater. So thank you for this video and link to purchase the part!
Thank you. I just replaced the flow sensor on my Tempra Plus, 9 years old, and although it's an easy job, it's nice to see someone do it first. Especially the part about lifting the right side to disconnect the top part of the sensor. Mince had two screws to loosen first. Worked like a charm. Cheers!
Nice technique at 2:08 ;) Thanks for the tutorial.
What was the heater not doing that pointed you to the flow sensor?
Do you know if the flow meter can be bypassed? It seems if you don't have enough flow, it won't signal for heat. As others have noted, some water appliances seem to not have enough flow rate. So multiple points of use must be on. Thx.
Came home today to no power to unit. Reset breakers and no luck. Tried the reset buttons inside with no luck. When your flow sensor died did your tank still show it had power? Or was it not lighting up at all? Thanks. Great video.
My hot water pressure is very low. I by-pass the water heater and the pressure is fine. Can the flow sensor be the cause?
I have an Temra 29, been a GREAT unit for over 15 years no issues. I have 3 of these I'm going to replace, and put in a new input plumbing piece later this weekend. Not hard units to work on.... when I turn on hot water, all the lights in the entire neighborhood dim. 150 amps. LMAO! "HONEY why are the LIGHT DIMMING?" "It's OKAY, the BARNHARTS are taking a SHOWER!" "Oh GOOD GOD, Mrs. Barnhart takes over an hour in there everyday!" "Put on the mining hat I brought you for Christmas for the times they are showering!" "Oh thats a great idea honey, thank you!" "You welcome, just DON'T RUN the hair dryer, we don't want to overload the electrical grid and blow out the transformers and be without power for the next day."

Just want to ask, is the flow sensor responsible for the hot water flow? Thanks.
Yes. If it can't sense the water flow, it doesn't activate the heating element.
Hi, my hot water comes on if I put on the bathroom shower and my bathroom sink only…would this cause that issue? Seeing that it’s more flow? If it’s the shower alone, there is no hot water
I don't know. Call Steibel tech support. They're great.
