Alpha
Control Signal Failure
Boiler does not respond to room thermostat; heating stays off even when thermostat is calling for heat.

Possible Causes
Flat batteries in wireless thermostat, Faulty room thermostat, Broken control wiring, Faulty PCB input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power before working on control wiring.
- Check thermostat: Replace batteries in wireless thermostats and ensure the set temperature is above room temperature.
- Check programmer: Confirm heating schedules are active and that the programmer is not set to OFF or HOLIDAY mode.
- Boiler demand light: On many Alpha boilers, a demand indicator shows when there is a call for heat. If this is off despite thermostat calling, the issue is likely external to the boiler.
- Wiring test (qualified person): At the boiler terminal block, link the room thermostat terminals to simulate a call for heat. If the boiler starts, the external controls or wiring are faulty.
