Can I reset my Weil-McLain boiler to clear the Return Temp Sensor code?

You can reset once if your manual says it's safe. If the code returns, stop resetting — repeated resets on a genuine fault, especially gas or overheat faults, can be unsafe and may worsen the problem. Book a licensed repair instead.

What you can safely check first

Note the exact code and your boiler's model number
Check the pressure gauge — low pressure triggers many faults
Confirm the gas supply is on and other gas appliances work
Reset the boiler once, per the manual, only if it's safe to do so
If the code returns, stop and call a licensed technician

Why this needs a licensed technician

Resolving a Return Temp Sensor fault almost always involves the gas, combustion, sensor or pressurized side of the appliance. Under BC's Safety Standards Act, that work must be performed by a licensed gas fitter — and doing it correctly protects your warranty and your safety. We diagnose Weil-McLain boilers, carry common parts, and verify clean combustion before returning your boiler to service.

This is not a DIY repair

Combi boilers are gas-fired appliances regulated under the BC Safety Standards Act. Opening the unit, touching the gas valve, or working on the flue without a valid BC gas-fitter licence is both unsafe and illegal. Diagnosing the fault is helpful — fixing it should always be left to a certified technician.
