C0-00Flow sensor malfunction
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (service manual): Flow sensor malfunction
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
The water flow sensor reports a malfunction. The documentation lists low water pressure, low water flow, air in the water circuit, flow caused by an external pump, or a faulty flow sensor; the checks start with the water pressure and the flow.
When to call a service technician: If the pressure is fine, call the installer to purge the circuit and check the sensor.
