Possible Causes

Faulty room thermostat, Faulty programmer or timer, Broken control wiring, Incorrect wiring at boiler terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before accessing any wiring terminals.

User checks:

  • Replace batteries in wireless or battery-powered thermostats.
  • Confirm the programmer is set to ON and not in holiday or OFF mode.
  • Increase the thermostat setting above current room temperature.

Engineer checks:

  • Verify correct wiring of the thermostat and programmer to the EHC boiler control terminals.
  • Test continuity of control cables and repair any breaks.
  • Temporarily link the boiler’s call-for-heat terminals; if the boiler fires, replace the faulty external control.

After restoring control signals, test both heating and hot water schedules for correct operation.
