How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before inspecting electronics.

  • Check demand: Ensure no hidden demand from frost protection, anti-legionella cycle, or cylinder reheat.
  • Power reset: Turn off the boiler for several minutes and restore power to clear a latched relay state.
  • Technician tasks: A professional should check the main control PCB for a stuck fan relay, verify sensor readings, and adjust parameters if necessary.
