How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Isolate power before tightening any fixings.
- Check mounting: Ensure the Hoval boiler is firmly fixed to the wall or frame and that all mounting brackets are tight.
- Tighten components: Check screws on the fan, pump, and casing panels. Tighten any that are loose.
- Bleed system: Remove air from radiators and the boiler's automatic air vent to reduce cavitation noise.
- If the fan still vibrates excessively, the impeller may be damaged and the fan assembly should be replaced.
