How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not bypass safety devices. Isolate power and allow the boiler to cool.

  • Identify safety devices: Refer to the wiring diagram to locate all safety thermostats and cut-outs in series with the control circuit.
  • Check for manual reset: Some safety thermostats have a reset button. Once the boiler is cool, press the reset until it clicks.
  • Inspect wiring: Check continuity through the safety chain using a multimeter. Look for loose spade connectors or broken wires.
  • Investigate cause of trip: If a safety device has tripped, determine why (e.g., pump failure, blocked heat exchanger) before resetting.
  • Replace faulty device: Any thermostat or cut-out that will not reset or has poor continuity must be replaced with the correct Elnur part.
