Possible Causes

Insufficient system pressure, faulty pressure sensor, leak in heating circuit, faulty expansion vessel

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not overfill the system. Overpressure can cause relief valve discharge and damage.

  • Check pressure gauge: If below the recommended level (typically 1.0–1.5 bar cold), top up using the filling loop as per the De Dietrich manual.
  • Bleed and recheck: After topping up, bleed radiators and recheck pressure. Repeat until stable.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look for visible leaks at radiators, valves, and under the boiler. Fix any leaks before topping up again.
  • Technician tasks: If pressure drops repeatedly, a professional should test the expansion vessel charge, check the pressure sensor, and inspect for hidden leaks.
