Possible Causes

Loose sensor connection, intermittent pump failure, external control dropping demand, flue gas thermostat cycling

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Monitor system pressure and temperature; if they rise excessively, switch off the boiler.

  • Check pump: Confirm that the Herz circulation pump continues to run while the burner is on. Intermittent operation suggests a failing pump or relay.
  • Inspect sensors: Wiggle sensor cables gently (power off) and ensure all plugs are secure.
  • Observe controls: Watch the room thermostat or controller to see if it is removing demand prematurely.
  • Technician diagnosis: If the fault is intermittent and no code is shown, a Herz technician may need to log data or monitor live values.
