Saunier Duval Pressure Sensor Ref. 0020016532
The pressure sensor from Saunier Duval is a sensor that measures the water pressure in the boiler circuit. Its function is to send the pressure reading to the control board. When it fails, you may notice blockages or incorrect readings, which can lead to a fault code F9: water pressure detector failure. This sensor is compatible with boilers from the ThemaClassic range, such as the model F 25 E, as well as with the model F 35 E from the Isofast range, among others. It should be replaced when the mentioned symptoms are detected.

How to check if ref. S5720500 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference S5720500. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the pressure sensor S5720500 resolves.
The pressure sensor measures the water pressure for the electronics. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler shuts down with a low pressure warning just after starting, even though the pressure gauge reads correctly.
Cause: The sensor sends a low pressure signal to the PCB, which interrupts the ignition cycle.
Note if the cut always occurs a few seconds after starting and compare it with the reading of the analog manometer before changing the part.
- 02
The pressure reading on the display changes by itself, unrelated to the filling or the use of the heating.
Cause: The sensor has a degraded signal, sending erratic readings to the control board.
Leave the boiler off for a few minutes and check if the reading remains stable; if it varies without reason, suspect the sensor.
- 03
The boiler gets locked due to pressure and does not respond to reset until it is turned off and back on again.
Cause: A sensor that gets 'stuck' on an incorrect reading may require a reset of the PCB to attempt to read again.
Before replacing it, try a complete reset (turn it off, wait, and turn it back on) and check if the fault reappears immediately.
- 04
The installer confirms that the installation is properly filled and bled, but the boiler continues to indicate a pressure fault.
Cause: If the sensor does not provide accurate information to the PCB, the warning persists even though the actual pressure in the circuit is correct.
Check the actual pressure of the circuit with an external manometer before ruling out a filling issue and focusing on the sensor.
Fault codes from Saunier Duval that this spare part resolves.
| Code | Fault | Diagnosis and solution |
|---|---|---|
| F9 | Water pressure sensor fault. | The pressure transducer S5720500 delivers an absent/out-of-range signal or does not reach the PCB, the electronics interpret an abnormal pressure and lock with F9; verify by measuring the sensor signal and the harness/wiring and comparing with an external manometer. |
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
