Hi, Yes, replacing this sensor will correct the issue that you're having that is causing the error code to appear.

I am having an intermittent E05 error code on a Pentair Mastertemp 400. Any suggestions what I should look at/for?
Is this the correct stack flu sensor for that heater?

Hi, Richard. That error message indicates a faulty Stack Flue Temp Sensor - 42002-0024S.
