What it is

The Worcester Bosch NTC sensor, part number 87186888010, is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor that monitors water temperature inside the appliance. As the water heats, the sensor's resistance falls, and the boiler's control board reads that change to regulate flow temperature and domestic hot water delivery. It is listed for the Worcester Bosch Compact 30Si and a broad spread of Greenstar combi and system appliances.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler locks out or displays a sensor-related fault code
  • Domestic hot water temperature swings between hot and cold instead of holding steady
  • Heating flow temperature reads noticeably higher or lower than a thermometer on the pipework
  • The appliance short cycles or fires intermittently because the control board is receiving implausible readings
  • Resistance measured at the sensor plug sits outside the expected range for the actual water temperature

Before you order

  • Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list to confirm this sensor suits your model
  • Confirm the alternative part number 1030865 matches the component being removed
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
