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.
