What it is

The Worcester Bosch 87161423840 is a PPS central heating sensor used across a range of Worcester Bosch combi and system boilers. It reads the temperature of the water in the heating circuit and passes that signal to the boiler's control board, which uses it to regulate burner output and pump operation. It is supplied as a single unit.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler locks out or fails to fire when there is a call for heat
  • Heating runs erratically, or the flow temperature overshoots the set point
  • Radiators warm unevenly with no obvious cause elsewhere in the system
  • A temperature-sensing fault code appears on the boiler display
  • Domestic hot water or heating temperature drifts away from the setting

Before you order

  • Check the appliance GC number and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Confirm the sensor connector and mounting arrangement match the original before fitting.
  • Alternative part numbers 1018135 and WB87161423840 may appear on older documentation.
