Fondital
Short Cycling / Oversized Boiler or Sensor Misreading
Boiler runs for only a short time then stops, radiators never reach set temperature
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Flow temperature set too high on Fondital boiler, Incorrect NTC sensor readings, Poor system volume or missing bypass, Pump over-speed causing rapid temperature rise
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No immediate hazard, but efficiency is reduced.
User checks:
- Lower flow temperature: Reduce the heating flow temperature setting to around 60°C and observe if run times increase.
- Open more radiators: Ensure enough radiators are open to absorb boiler output.
Technician actions:
- Check flow and return NTC sensors for accuracy.
- Verify correct pump speed and adjust if necessary.
- Install or adjust an automatic bypass valve if required.
- Review system design vs. boiler output and adjust settings (e.g., maximum power) on the Fondital PCB.
